Local people have got two weeks left to have a say on how to improve local maternity services across Morecambe Bay and Cumbria.
Women who've given birth - as well as their partners and family members, are being asked to give their views if they've used the services over the last five years.
All feedback will be analysed independently by Healthwatch Cumbria, which has been commissioned to run the survey by Cumbria and Lancashire North's Clinical Commissioning Groups.
There is an online questionnaire here and paper copies are also available.
People can also email comments to info@healthwatchcumbria.co.uk.
Mel Gard, the service user Chair of the Morecambe Bay Maternity Services Liaison Committee (Lancaster, South Lakes and Furness areas) said: "The maternity care teams have been working hard to make local maternity services the best they can be, but it is the families who use the service who can best assess if the care provided adequately meets their needs.
“I would really encourage families to share their experience and give their views, as all the feedback will have an impact on developing services. Mums and their families know what is really important to them. Of course, everyone puts the safety of mum and baby at the top of the list, but we all want more than that. Whatever the situation that unfolds, we want the arrival of a new baby into a family to be a special, personal and positive experience.”
Dr Alex Gaw, Clinical Chair of NHS Lancashire North Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “As commissioners of local health services, including maternity, we are committed to engaging with our local population to ensure that we are buying and delivering safe and effective services that meet the needs and wishes of those who use them.
“The aim of the review is to identify as much recent experience of using our maternity services as possible. That will allow us to identify the best services from a patient’s viewpoint and make them even better. We want as many parents, including wider family members, as possible to take part in the review.”
Cath Broderick, chair of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Women’s Network said: “‘Our focus is on hearing from current and future users of maternity services to make sure that we build on what we already know from previous local discussions about the services women are looking for throughout their pregnancy and following the birth of their baby.”
