There could be fewer maternity units in Birmingham and Solihull, according to a report into "secret" plans to cut hospital services in England.

Full details of 44 reviews of services around the country - which involve closing some A&Es or, in one case, a whole hospital - are yet to emerge.

That is because NHS England told local managers to keep the plans "out of the public domain" and avoid requests for information, the King's Fund suggested.

The report did not include any details of cuts, but from the leaks and plans that have been published so far a partial picture is emerging of what is involved, including reorganising local maternity services.
