Thousands Sign Hospital Petition

February 2, 2007 10:33 AM

Hospital Petition House of CommonsChristine McHugh has delivered her "Save Bedford Hospital" petition to the Department of Health. There were 4,000 signatures. Christine said "I want to thank everyone who has signed the petition. This is a massive response. However, this is just the start and the campaign continues. We are still collecting more signatures, which we will deliver as a second batch."

"Later this year both the hospital itself and the East of England Health Authority will release the results of their reviews into the future of Bedford Hospital. It is crucial that residents have a genuine say in the future of our hospital and that we keep up the pressure now to save our hospital from even more savage cuts."

Bedford Hospital is seen as serving the second smallest population in the East of England and their review has already raised questions about the future of maternity services, Accident & Emergency and emergency surgery.

To add your name to the continuing petition go to www.savebedfordhospital.org or write in for a petition sheet.
