The Chairman of Ruddington Parish Council, Peter McGowan, who was Mayor of Rushcliffe from 2009-10, chose the City Hospital’s Neo-Natal Unit as his mayoral charity. The unit has a special place in Peter and his wife Deirdre’s hearts as their daughter Laura spent nearly 3 months in the unit when she was born at just 2lbs 10½ozs, 26 years ago. Peter and Deirdre were delighted to be able to present Unit Consultant Paediatrician Dr Bernard Schoonakker, with a cheque for £18,104 raised during his time as mayor.
