Hospitals' smoking ban to start
Gloucestershire's hospitals are reminding people that all sites will soon be declared smoke free.

A ban on smoking in hospital grounds - at Cheltenham General, Gloucestershire Royal and Delancey hospitals - comes into effect on 8 March.

The decision was made following consultations with staff and patients and would have been implemented regardless of the decision by MPs.

Earlier this week Parliament voted to ban smoking in public places.
