The purpose of this study is to learn about the implementation of NHS England's Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle Version 2 to reduce perinatal mortality. It will explore whether the care bundle is effective at reducing stillbirth rates, neonatal death rates and preterm births in England. It will also explore the lived experiences of women's maternity care and their babies neonatal care, and the views and experiences of healthcare professionals who are involved in delivering the care bundle. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the care bundle reduce perinatal mortality rates? * What are women's views and experiences of their maternity and neonatal care? * What are the barriers around delivering the care bundle and how can this be improved? * How do health inequalities affect the care women receive? * How does the workforce culture affect how healthcare professionals use the care bundle? Perinatal mortality rates and other pregnancy outcomes will be obtained from national data sources. Women and healthcare professionals will be asked to complete a survey and we will interview select groups of participants to further explore their experiences. Mortality rates will be compared before and after the implementationof the care bundle where data allows. Data from the surveys will be descriptive. Data from the interviews will be analysed using thematic analysis to determine patterns and recurring ideas in the data.
