A TWO-day Judicial Review hearing challenging the decision to close the Leeds Children's Heart Surgery Unit will start today.

The High Court in London will listen to views of campaigners trying to save Leeds Children's Heart Unit and those who made the decision to close it – the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts.

The JCPCT made the initial decision in July last year to reduce the number of units across the country from 11 to six or seven.

As previously reported, the Grimsby Telegraph-backed Save Our Surgery campaign believes closing the facility will put children's lives in danger.

    “Is it me, as I was under the impression that the G.E.T was a local paper what as this story got to do with north east Lincolnshire, like the fire in Louth yesterday its not in our patch and has nothing to do with this area, I really think the days of this paper are numbered in the last few years the reporting has become shockingly bad, No wonder nobody buys it anymore.”
