ANOTHER ward at Fairfield Hospital is set to lose more beds and nurses in the second cut to services within the last month.

Staff have been informed of proposals to close two beds and redeploy five nurses from the coronary care ward, which cares for patients with serious heart problems.

The high dependency ward is being targeted as the Pennine Acute Trust carries out plans to close 250 beds across its four hospital sites in a bid to save money.
