Children’s wards will be forced to close, warns official report

The future of some of Scotland’s centres for paediatric services are at risk with staff shortages and a lack of cash likely to lead to closures this year.

A closure of the children’s ward at St John’s Hospital in Livingston is “highly likely” this summer, a year after the service was controversially shut for three weeks due to a short-term staffing crisis, a new report from health executives has warned.
