NHS trust to stay in control of George Eliot Hospital

A Warwickshire hospital put in special measures after major failings will no longer face a takeover, the NHS has said.

The NHS Trust Development Authority said "significant improvements" had been made at the George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton.

Unison, the UK's largest union, said the hospital being "pulled back from the brink of privatisation" was a "victory for common sense".
