Almost 100 m was invested into improving maternity safety annually.

But just 2 m of the funding is guaranteed to be spent on maternity care this year .

The Department of Health said local health leaders will be given the money to decide how best to spend it.

The Royal College of Midwives described the decision as taking a "wrecking ball" to maternity safety.
