Rising numbers of measles cases in Leicester has prompted the children's A and E department in the city to limit who comes in with patients.

One parent or carer will be allowed with a child. Bosses are asking siblings and other family members wait elsewhere to halt the spread of infection.

Measles is a highly contagious, potentially fatal virus and doctors are worried other patients could be vulnerable if exposed.

Dr Damian Roland is a consultant paediatrician at the LRI and spoke to Ady Dayman about the rise in the number of cases.
