NHS chiefs are trying to keep plans to cut hospital services in England secret, an investigation has found.
Full details of 44 reviews of services around the country - which involve closing some A&Es or, in one case, a whole hospital - are yet to emerge.
That is because NHS England told local managers to keep the plans "out of the public domain" and avoid requests for information, the King's Fund suggested.
Managers were even told how to reject freedom of information requests.
The King's Fund report did not include any details of cuts, but from the leaks and plans that have been published so far a partial picture is emerging of what is involved.
