Maternity partnership working - mapping MSLCs in England.
Maternity services liaison committees (MSLCs) have a long history but were affected by 2013 health reforms. An online survey of heads of midwifery (HoMs) and service users was conducted to assess how many NHS trusts in England had a functioning MSLC and whether they were supported by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and working with Healthwatch, the new statutory consumer advocate. Results showed that at least 62 per cent of trusts had an MSLC. However, support from commissioners varied widely. Around two fifths of MSLCs had administrative support provided by the CCG or their local NHS trust. One in eight MSLCs had a budget including an allowance for the Chair. Some MSLCs were struggling to continue, due to little or no support. Both HoMs and service users wanted commissioners to provide more consistent support for MSLCs. One in five MSLCs had a clear link with Healthwatch. This is a legacy to underpin the transition to CCG-funded MaternityVoices Partnerships in 2017.
