The National Neonatal Network and National Maternity Network were set up in 2019 and 2020, respectively, following recommendations in The Best Start. Published by the Scottish Government in January 2017, The Best Start details a five-year forward plan for the improvement of maternity and neonatal (perinatal) services in Scotland.
