" The annual NHS Maternity Statistics report has revealed hospital deliveries to mothers aged 13 to 19 have fallen by over a fifth in five years. Hospitals in England recorded a 21.9 per cent fall in the number of babies delivered to teenage mothers compared to that in the 2006/07 report. The delivery rate per 1,000 of the population for this age group was also down from 19.1 to 14.9. Overall, deliveries in NHS hospitals increased by 6.3 per cent up to 669,000, with an increase in birth rates in all age groups apart from women aged 19 and under. Women aged 30 to 34 accounted for the greatest percentage of deliveries, and had the highest delivery rate per 1,000 of the population. Another notable statistic from this year&amp;#039;s report was the increase in caesareans, which reached 25 per cent of all births compared to 24.2 per cent in 2006/07. A little over one in three mothers aged 35 and over had a caesarean, compared to one in four women aged 25 to 34 and under one in six women aged under 25. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
