A mum has warned night-time closures of Ormskirk Hospital children's A&E could cost lives after she rushed her child there only to find the doors closed.
Hayley Thomas and her husband Gary said "it's not right" the unit closes at night after they rushed to the hospital with their six-year-old son who was struggling to breathe. Mrs Thomas, 41, said they woke at around 11.45pm on April 27 to the sound of their son Buddy thrashing around and struggling to breathe.
After calming him down and trying to deal with the situation themselves Mrs Thomas decided to drive him to Ormskirk Children's A&E. But when the concerned parent got there around 1am she was concerned to discover it was closed.
