The accident and emergency department is to close at Trafford General Hospital, which is regarded as the birthplace of the NHS.

NHS Trafford has confirmed the closure saying there are low patient numbers and fears over clinical safety.

Doctors say changes are required if the hospital is to survive and too few patients are using the department - the smallest in England.

But campaigners say the changes would put lives at risk.
