Dr Liza Harry, a consultant paediatrician at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, says she needs the support of her mother to help look after her seven-year-old daughter.

Her husband, Dr Vishna Rasiah (pictured), 48, who worked at the Birmingham Women's and Children's trust, died in April 2020 after contracting coronavirus.

Dr Harry says her mother came over from Trinidad in June to care and help reassure her daughter.

She says if her mum has to go back to Trinidad, she will have to leave too because she will not have childcare.

"Having her here has made such a difference and I am planning to return to work later this month but the difficulty has been trying to do my job planning without knowing whether I will have any help with childcare at home," she said.
