An independent panel is visiting Glenfield Hospital in Leicester to investigate the decision to close the childrens' heart unit.

More than 100,000 people signed a petition against the move which was announced in July, and last month the Health Secretary asked for a full review of the plans. It's one of three centres facing closure nationally.
