This follows serious incidents.
Expecting mothers deemed "high risk" will no longer receive maternity care from Portiuncula Hospital.
The announcement comes after a series of serious incidents, including seven cases of babies suffering brain injuries during or after birth since 2024.
The criteria for defining what a high risk pregnancy is set to be expanded.
This means pregnant women with gestational diabetes, a high BMI, or a history of issues during previous labours will be sent to other maternity wards in the region.
