Hundreds of protesters marched through Leicester today, angry at plans to close Glenfield Hospital's heart unit.

MP's will meet with NHS England next week to discuss the plans and a public consultation will begin in December.

George Weaver was born with an undiagnosed heart defect and receives constant care at Glenfield. ITV News Central spoke to his parents, as well as local MP, Jon Ashworth at the hospital at today's march.
