What do communities want from maternity services in Argyll & Bute?

Hi, first thanks for taking the time to open this link!

In Argyll and Bute we know we have great communities to bring up families. Providing services can pose great opportunities because of this but also unique challenges due to the geography, distances and transport.

 This survey is not just for those of you that have had children but also to help us to plan services for the future parents and families in Argyll.

While we always want to know about people’s experience of care are, we also very much want to look forwards and understand what women and families want from their maternity services.

This survey will take less than ten minutes to complete and will help us make sure that we are listening to the community when planning our services. While there will always be things that cannot be provided locally understanding what is most important to families is really important.
