Trust leaders said there is mounting concern over patient safety.

Money ringfenced for maternity care reduced from 95 m overall in 2024-25 to just 2 m this year .

Chief executives said they are worried the cuts will not only damage work to improve maternity services, but also scupper the chances of reducing widespread inequality.

Trusts leaders and medics have warned that this summer could see a wave of strikes over the cuts.
