The WY&H LMNS Board is the mechanism through which we will collaboratively transform maternity and neonatal services, with a focus of delivering high quality, safe and sustainable services and improved outcomes and experience for women and their families. The LMNS Board provides oversight and challenge to the delivery and implementation of the aims and priorities of the LMNS.
Health and care services, councils, community organisations and families in West Yorkshire and Harrogate work together as the Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS), with partners represented on the LMNS Board and at working groups. This diagram illustrates the governance arrangements for those groups:

The Senior Responsible Officer is: Beverley Geary, Director of Nursing, West Yorkshire ICB
Our Health Needs Assessment provides us with vital information around which communities and demographic groups will benefit most from out transformation work.
Our Equality Impact Assessment identifies the groups of people most likely to be affected by the transformation of local maternity and neonatal services. This will be used alongside the Maternity Health Needs Assessment (HNA) to help the Partnership develop options to improve maternity care across the area. It will also inform future engagement with people across West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
