Liverpool City Councillor Nick Small remains in hospital weeks after he was rushed in for emergency surgery facing potential organ failure.
Cllr Small, who represents the Central city ward for Labour, was taken to the Royal Liverpool Hospital early in January having been unwell over the Christmas period. At hospital he was diagnosed with type one diabetes and was sent for emergency surgery to drain an abscess that had developed on his neck.
He was also found to have developed some necrotising fasciitis, which is a very dangerous flesh-eating bug that can spread quickly and can lead to organ failure and death.
