Yorkshire paper campaigns for children's hospital

The Yorkshire Post is asking its readers to support the campaign to give the region a flagship children's hospital. It has launched a petition after plans for a £230m children's and maternity services hospital in Leeds were shelved. The paper quotes Professor Malcolm Levene, who treats sick newborn babies: "Without a children's hospital, children and their families will continue to be disadvantaged... putting them at risk now and in the future."
