A THREATENED A&E department has been given a six-month stay of execution as hospital bosses anticipate a damning report from a government health watchdog.

It is believed that health chiefs had hoped to accelerate a downgrade of services at Dewsbury District Hospital, leading to the end of emergency care at the hospital in September.

But the plan, designed to save £10m a year, has reverted to its original schedule, which means the downgrade will not take place until April 2017.
