THE number of beds at North Staffordshire's community hospitals is set to be slashed by 100. The bed-reduction numbers – from 250 to 150 – are revealed in a five-year strategy produced by North Staffordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The closures are being proposed to raise enough cash to treat people in their own homes. But the move has been criticised as a public consultation over the future of the beds has yet to be published or formally approved. Campaigners fear it...

While Labour ended up with two more seats than it started with, neither was a true gain, as both had been won by the party in 2012 before later being lost, through an expulsion in one case, and a resignation in...
