Visiting restrictions to maternity hospitals should be risk assessed to show how they are protecting women and staff, maternity advocates have said.

A new furniture business which will see 20 per cent of all donated products go to charity is set to open in Wrexham after Christmas.
Wrexham Furniture Centre is based on Wrexham Road, Rhostyllen, in the former Malcolm Hughes Car Garage and sells new and used furniture of all types.
Manager Daniel Blythen chose the charity Cherish Wrecsam, which is the parents support group linked to the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at the Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
“I chose Cherish because my brother had a newborn pass away on the ward a couple of years ago – I was on the ward and saw first hand how hard all the nurses work there,” Daniel said.
