The Duke of Kent visited Rotherham Hospital to officially open the £12.2 million Urgent and Emergency Care Centre on Tuesday.

The Duke met hospital trust and council officials and was shown around the hospital.

The UECC is open for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and has brought A&E facilities together with those of the former walk-in centre in the town centre.
