Supporters of Watchet charity Elliot’s Trust made an emotional visit to Musgrove Park Hospital to present five monitors - worth £2000 each - to the children’s ward.

The machines will enable the hospital to check children’s hearts, blood, temperatures and more, and can be in permanent use for those who are very ill.

Donna and Paul Stevens, the Watchet couple who started Elliot’s Touch in memory of their 13-month-old son, presented the monitors to the ward where Elliot was treated for a short time.

“They had no monitors in the children’s ward and had to borrow one when we were there with Elliot," said Donna.
