A letter from the Health Secretary about the future of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) is expected to be discussed by decision-makers later.
Politicians from Calderdale and Kirklees councils are set to officially receive the letter from Jeremy Hunt which was sent in May and which told NHS bosses to look again at the plans.
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust wants to close the HRI, replace it with a smaller 64-bed unit and move A&E care to Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax.
But Christina George, from the Hands Off HRI campaign, said "things have moved on" since the trust first created its plans.
"We know there is going to be an extra £20bn put into the NHS and we know the limit on doctors and nurses and other staff coming into the UK from other countries has been lifted," she said.
"So, some of the things that were outlined originally could really have an impact."
Doncaster Rovers has defended how much the club pays some of its staff, after a government report said it had paid them below the National Minimum Wage (NMW).
Image source, Getty ImagesDoncaster Rovers is one of almost 240 employers across the country which had failed to pay the NMW to some staff, according to the report.
However, the football club has said just two employees were paid below minimum wage, with one being at an employee's own request.
The club says another employee asked for a larger amount of their monthly wage be put into their pension contributions.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs has since said this meant the staff member's take-home pay was below the NMW.
Rovers said one other employee was paid under the NMW after joining the club, having done some unpaid work experience before starting their paid role.
The club said this meant it should have back-dated the employee's pay.
Quote MessageDoncaster Rovers take our employment responsibilities and duty of care to staff seriously. We benchmark the pay and benefits package provided to all employees on an annual basis and are more than satisfied that we are a fair employer."

About £400,000 is to be spent by Scarborough Council to convert a former prison into a nursery site to store plants, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Image source, Betty Longbottom/GeographThe Grade II listed Dean Road jail opened in 1866, but closed 12 years later. It's now used for tours and art installations.
An application to move plant growing and storage facilities there have been approved, meaning the demolition of several storage buildings and a joinery workshop which used to be a sanitorium.
In order to make the Dean Road site usable for nursery purposes,about £400,000 will be spent decontaminating the land on the site.
Despite new greenhouses being proposed for the depot, the council will now buy-in the majority of its plants rather than growing them.
The cost of buying-in plants is estimated by the borough council to be about £65,000, compared to the current price of £182,000 per year for the council to grow its own.
