Union officials have announced plans to fight the loss of nearly 1,200 jobs and 186 beds after the merger of two Nottingham hospitals.

Public sector workers' union Unison has joined forces with the Royal College of Nursing in a campaign to halt the cuts.

Unison say the changes could affect patient care at the City Hospital and the Queen's Medical Centre.

The hospital said providing patients with the best possible care is the hospital trust's overriding goal.
