Maternity services could close at one of two London hospitals due to fewer births, the NHS said.
NHS North Central London said it needed to cut the number of maternity units in its area due to declining birth rates.
It has launched a public consultation, proposing to close either the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead or Whittington Hospital in Archway.
Concerns have been raised but NHS bosses said “nothing has been pre-decided”.
