A health board has restricted visits to one of its maternity units as a result of abuse suffered by staff.
Staff in the post natal wards at University Hospital Wishaw are being subjected to verbal abuse "almost daily" and workers even being "chased out" of a ward by family members unwilling to leave in one incident.
As a result, the board announced on Monday that the second visitor nominated by a patient will be required to make a two-hour appointment before their visit.
