Show Notes
NHS Leaders in Leicestershire propose closing St Marys Birth Centre due to low usage and unsafe staffing levels. The center only handled 92 births in 2024-2025, less than 1% of the trusts total. The proposal suggests moving services to Leicester General Hospitals midwifery unit. Local campaigners express concern over losing birth options and rural families facing longer travel times. The health board will review public feedback before making a decision, promising to keep families and staff informed.
