HUNDREDS of activists took to the streets of Liverpool on Saturday, marching to save Liverpool Women’s Hospital and resist NHS privatisation and cuts.

The maternity hospital, the largest of its kind in Europe, is at risk of closure and relocation to a smaller facility at the city centre’s Royal Hospital.

Activists warn that its future is being decided by an integrated care board, which they say is designed to deny care and pump money into private companies.
