Pregnancy scan business 'sorry to let down women'

A pregnancy scanning clinic says it has to stop offering its services after the government told it to close.

ScanSanctuary, based in Carrs Lane in Tromode, was carrying out reassurance scans for worried mums-to-be during lockdown - it says these scans were necessary and carried out with strict anti-infection measures in place.

However, it says the Department of Health has now told it to close because its services aren't essential.

It says after the decision was made, it's had to turn away women suffering anxiety and mental health issues, who've had miscarriages or other problems in the past, as well as woman on IVF treatment.
