The children's accident and emergency department at Ormskirk will close temporarily overnight from Monday night.
It'll shut at 10pm until 8am each day until further notice; ambulance patients will be taken directly to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool - the hospital's usual children’s A&E service will operate at all other times.
Trish Armstrong-Child, Chief Executive of Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust, said the challenges presented by Covid-19 (coronavirus) had forced the temporary closure on the Trust.
She said: "I know the closure will concern people but the Trust cannot maintain safe and effective emergency medical cover overnight at Ormskirk while the focus of our staff is on coronavirus.
“I want to thank Alder Hey for taking care of our children at this time. They will be in very safe hands."
Parents needing urgent medical advice should usethe NHS 111?. In an emergency, always call 999.
