Stomach bug forces unit closure
A minor injuries unit in Devon will be closed on Saturday night for the third night in a row.

The unit in Okehampton is being forced to close again because it has a shortage of staff.

Staff working at the hospital have been affected by a Norwalk-type stomach bug which has meant the overnight closure of the unit for the past two nights.

The Mid Devon Primary Care Trust said it hopes the unit will open again on Sunday evening.
