Over 1, illness 000 people took to the streets as part of a rally to Save Liverpool Women’s Hospital yesterday.
The rally gathered outside Liverpool Women’s hospital before travelling through the city and ending outside the Labour Party Conference held on the Liverpool waterfront.
The Save Liverpool Women’s campaign was originally founded last year when financial worries left a question mark over the future of the hospital.
So far a petition to save the hospital has been signed over 40,000 times.
Fears first emerged about the future of the Women’s last year when an internal report states it could become “financially unviable” after it ran a £7.3m deficit in 2015/16.
Earlier this year NHS bosses launched a review of women’s and maternity services that could become the foundations for a potential relocation of the hospital.
Robert Clarke, chairman of the Women’s, said his “preferred option” is for a new mums’ and babies’ unit next door to the new Royal Liverpool Hospital, however campaigners believe this will lead to a downgrade in care.
