Zusammenfassung:	This paper describes the findings of a study of 43 midwifery wards in Northern Ireland. The Nursing Hours Per Patient (NHPP) index is extended to the calculation of appropriate indices for five categories of midwifery ward, antenatal, delivery, postnatal, special care baby units, combined units (including delivery wards) and combined antenatal and postnatal wards. These indices are used to examine the distribution of nursing staff in relation to occupied beds.
