Delivering safe and effective Maternity care across Lancashire and South Cumbria
Every day the Lancashire and South Cumbria Local Maternity and Newborn Services work hard to deliver high quality care across our local communities.
We strive to ensure that all women, babies and their families experience safe, kind, compassionate and personalised care, and to make sure they can access support that is centred on their needs and circumstances.
We understand that since its publication on 30th March 2022, the Independent Review of Maternity Services at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (the final Ockenden Report) has rightly put Maternity Services across the country under the
spotlight.
Since receiving the first Ockenden report in December 2020, our local providers have been focused on using the Immediate and Essential Actions of the report to improve services where required.
