A girl who underwent two liver transplants at Leeds Children's Hospital won a fun competition with her design ideas for the city's new children's hospital.

Work has got underway on a £600m project to build a new adults' hospital and a new children's hospital in Leeds.

Seven-year-old patient Violet Chhokar won the design contest after using her experiences as a patient to think carefully about what would help her and other children in hospital.
