Welcome to the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS)
We are a partnership of maternity and neonatal service providers, commissioners, local authorities and Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnerships working together to transform maternity services in West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
Across West Yorkshire and Harrogate Local Maternity and Neonatal System we aim to provide the highest quality care, information and advice for women, birthing people and their families, whilst planning for a baby and throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond. We strive to be the first choice when it comes to maternity and neonatal care by offering women and their families options personalising their care to their needs and wishes.
We listen to, and work closely with, women and their families to make sure they experience care that is safe, responsive and respectful to their needs and wishes throughout the maternity journey.
