Hospital ban on cooing over newborn babies

A YORKSHIRE hospital has banned visitors from asking proud new mothers questions about their babies after deciding that they have a right to privacy.

Staff at Calderdale Royal insist the drive is necessary to prevent visitors gawping at newborns or quizzing the mothers, but the plan has been met with fury.
