The Stroke unit at Noble's Hospital has been able to re-open.

A review of staffing levels and bed availability in the hospital meant that treatment within the facility could resume.

The unit had to be shut last week as many staff were unwell.

The Department of Health says the standard of treatment for stroke patients has not fallen as a result of the closure.
