Mike Schofield, consultant in emergency medicine and paediatric emergency medicine, said: âItâs easy to say that the new department will make a massive difference to children and the care we are able to provide.
âThe new department is much bigger; it has a large waiting area that will be able to accommodate far more people than before.
