The review, which was announced in February of this year, aims to overhaul the Scottish Government's approach to maternity and neonatal services to ensure that every mother and baby receives the best possible care from the country's health service.
Under Mrs Grant, the review group will examine recent examples of innovation and best practice. They will consider the levels and type of services available, and examine new evidence about the benefits of different birth settings for mothers and babies. The impact of changing birth rates and demographics on maternity and neonatal facilities will also be considered, as well as looking to see that Scotland has the right maternity and neonatal services in place to continue to deliver and enhance the care provided.
In addition, the report will give consideration to relevant recommendations from the independent Morecambe Bay investigation, published in March 2015.
Mrs Grant will now select the members of the review group, with the final report expected to be presented to ministers in summer 2016.
She commented: "I am pleased to accept the invitation to chair this very important piece of work. This will be a detailed examination of maternity and neonatal services. We will talk to families who use the services, and the professionals who deliver them.
"Our aim is to identify a series of recommendations that will seek to enhance services so that the health service can continue to deliver safe, efficient and sustainable services for women and their babies."
Maureen Watt, Public Health Minister, added: "I'm delighted that Jane Grant has accepted my invitation to chair the review of Scotland's maternity and neonatal services.
"The services we provide to women and babies are excellent and safe, but changes to the birth rate, demographics new best practice and guidelines, along with advances in clinical care and treatment, mean they must be adapted and updated. Through this review we want to create a refreshed model of care, focusing on what works well and spreading best practice across our NHS.
"The review will look at giving mums-to-be a choice of options, to ensure that services are available in the right place at the right time. We will consider fresh ideas for how we can make existing services even better and safer, based on the best available evidence and feedback from families and front line staff."
