Request
 
How can pregnant women make use of their "maternity budget" (examples of providers and services) in Sheffield?
 
Response 
 
We don’t currently offer a personalised maternity budget but women are able to choose any NHS provider of maternity services.  They can go outside the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw region if they wish to but this is quite rare. 
 
The main provider for maternity services is Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. 
 
The CCG does not contract with any independent sector providers for maternity services so if women wanted to use a private provider we don’t currently offer that on the NHS.
