In January 2014, the nine CCGs in Hampshire, Dorset, Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight asked the Strategic Clinical Network for Maternity, Children and Young People to develop a 5-10 year strategic plan for maternity, neonatal and paediatric services. This proposal was supported by the Strategic Clinical Network Steering Group in February 2014.
The draft strategy entitled ‘A Vision-Led Model for Safe and Sustainable Maternity Services’ was presented by the Strategic Clinical Network to the Wessex Clinical Senate Council in June 2014 along with a number of research articles and other papers outlining good practice in this area. Presentations were made at the council meeting by a range of stakeholders including acute providers, ambulance trusts, mental health providers, public health and commissioners.
The Strategic Clinical Network asked the Senate Council to provide a strategic view on physical and mental health pathways across obstetrics and maternity services rather than how services should be reconfigured.
