Families protest over Bassetlaw children's ward closure
Families have been protesting this morning over the decision to close the children's ward overnight at Bassetlaw Hospital in Nottinghamshire.
They've been protesting outside Retford Hospital, where Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals Trust Clinical Commissioning Group is holding its monthly meeting.
The closure means that children in the hospital are moved to other hospitals overnight, before being brought back to Bassetlaw in the morning.
The Trust says the decision to close the ward overnight is a result of staff shortages and for safety reasons.
