Daughter says mum isolated in hospital due to 'senseless' restrictions

A woman who has been unable to regularly visit her 84-year-old mother in hospital said continuing covid restrictions are "senseless" and have left her mum feeling isolated.

Georgina Rochford's 84-year-old mother Shelagh was admitted to Whiston Hospital at the end of January having suffered a hip fracture and subsequently received a hip replacement.
