Review into Maternity Services at Singleton Hospital

Llais has been listening to women, birthing people and families that received care from Swansea Bay Health Board’s maternity services. What people told us was shared with the Independent Review of Maternity Services, and we asked them to show us how these views shaped their work.

Whilst this work is continuing, here are examples of what we have achieved:

• An agreement that an Advisory Group including people with lived experience, representatives from Maternity Voices Partnership, Llais and other third sector groups will be formed to advise the Panel on the approach to their work.
• Bereavement, mental health and wellbeing support services are to be made available for those who might need them.
• Information about the review will be made more visible on the Health Board website and following that a separate website will be launched for the review itself.
• We are working closely with families and the Health Board to move the review process forward so services can improve for people. 

3,200 babies are born each year in the Swansea Bay University Health Board area. We know there may be a lot of you with stories to share.
