Silent night for banned carollers

Carol singers have been banned from wards at Torbay Hospital because it is feared they could bring infections in with them.

Torbay Gospelaires male voice choir, which has taken Christmas cheer to patients for 40 years, called it "political correctness gone mad".

Hospital bosses said they could sing in public areas such as the restaurant or the main entrance.

But the Gospelaires say they will not be taking up the offer.
