The British Medical Association says its members in Cambridge can return for a hospital night shift.

The British Medical Association has agreed some of its members can return to hospital for one night because of low staffing in a labour ward.

The BMA said it accepted a request from the NHS for doctors to work Saturday's night shift at an obstetrics unit in Cambridge University Hospital.A BMA spokesman said it granted a "limited derogation" and said its main concern was patient safety."We want to thank the trust and regional team, along with NHS England, for flagging appropriate concerns in a timely way," said the BMA spokesman.

The trust's maternity wards are located at the Rosie Hospital, which sits beside Addenbrookes Hospital.
