00:00People are being invited to have their say on proposals affecting some maternity services in Liverpool.
00:07NHS leaders want around 130 high-risk births each year to be managed through the Royal Liverpool Hospital rather than
00:15Liverpool Women's Hospital.
00:16The two hospitals are 1.3 miles apart.
00:20Clinicians say the change would improve safety for a small number of women with complex needs because emergency care is
00:27available on site.
00:29Campaigners opposing the plans argue the Royal is already under pressure and fear wider impacts on specialist services.
00:36A six-week public engagement exercise is now underway, with feedback being gathered until 14 July.
