Private elective C-section options in the North outside London?

I am a bit at a loss! I just found out I am pregnant and I am based in Lancaster. I am trying to find a consultant for a private elective C-section delivery. However, it seems like almost everything online points strictly to London.
Does anybody have recommendations or know who I should contact if I want to have a private delivery in Leeds, Newcastle, or anywhere else in the North?
I plan to do all of my routine screening scans and antenatal follow-ups locally on the NHS, but I strongly prefer not to use the NHS for the delivery itself, and I absolutely want to avoid traveling down to London. Any advice or contact leads would be massively appreciated!

Are you aware that if there is a problem during your surgery you would most likely be transfered to NHS for care?

I would consider what facilities they have e.g. blood transfusion, cell salvage

But sorry i don't know of any private hospitals outside London and travelling that far post c/s with a newborn would not be a good idea
