NHS bosses say around two thirds of the current services will be provided at a new £8 million building in the town centre.

The rest will be offered at Dawlish community hospital - four miles up the road.

Geralyn Arthurs from the 'save our hospital' campaign group says bosses should improve the existing site instead.

Health bosses say any money raised from the sale of the Teignmouth hospital site will be reinvested into other parts of the NHS.
