Consultation on hospital is a joke

The nonsense that is being put about by the Mid Yorkshire Trust that they are centralising services for OUR good is a direct threat to the continuous provision of hospital services at Dewsbury Hospital

Don’t be fooled into thinking that all will be alright

I have been involved in the changes at Dewsbury hospital for years and never before have I felt that Dewsbury Hospital could, in the longer term be just a transit station to Pinderfields

In Lewisham over the last few weeks we have seen thousands of people taking to the streets because of the threat to close their A&E, I am urging the community of Dewsbury to follow their lead and not to sleepwalk into these changes

The A&E services and other treatments will be reduced in the proposals and in my view the A&E services will move to Pinderfields in the medium turn, take my word!

When the consultation (Joke) commences in March, I am imploring everyone to voice their opinions and attend the consultation events and tell these people, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
