FLEAS in the operating theatre and maggots in the mortuary - news of infestations at Southport Hospital may be shocking but they should be taken with a pinch of salt.
With Labour on the back foot nationally, the Conservatives have used the ever-divisive issue of healthcare to score political points with a stomach-churning report.
In a busy hospital environment - where thousands of people pass in and out daily - pest infestations are bound to occur and even the smallest case should not be ignored.
Southport Hospital has proven itself as a safe and clean environment - it has been free from superbug MRSA since last year.
Frankly, it should not matter how many times controllers are called out - just that pest problems are dealt with quickly and safely.
It's Great Up North
BLACKPOOL-born Coleen Nolan has shown her support to the North by saying that it's time to knock all those regional stereotypes on the head.
Coleen, who will open this year's Southport Flower Show said the event is a perfect way to show the rest of the UK that we don't just "wear flat caps and eat pies" all the time.
Thousands of visitors will be flocking through the gates of Victoria Park for the Flower Show in a couple of weeks and it is a brilliant opportunity to show them the resort for what it is: a friendly, welcoming town, rich with culture and history.
