Cash appeal for city's hospital

Staff at the hospital are launching the Stars Appeal

Staff at Salisbury District Hospital are launching an appeal for £400,000 to buy equipment.

Through the Stars Appeal, they want to raise £100,000 to pay for facilities that will help care for premature babies from the region.

Staff also want to raise £300,000 to equip a dedicated keyhole cancer operating theatre.

This will enable patients to have the most sophisticated surgery and spend less time in recovery.
