HEALTH chiefs have denied they are cutting beds for new mums in the borough's main hospital.
Describing plans for the Princess Royal University Hospital's post-natal ward as part of wider improvements, Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust says all resources are being reviewed.
Chief executive John Watkinson says better use can be made of some areas of the hospital, including the maternity unit.
Full details were being kept under wraps before the trust board had the chance to consider them at its November 17 meeting.
But a hospital spokesman confirmed gynaecology bays will move to the top floor to make way for more medical beds ready for the increase in demand during winter.
"No beds will be lost as a result of this move," they said.
