Two proposals for a massive, permanent downgrading of Bedford Hospital have been identified by NHS Commissioners as preferred options under their ongoing health review. The two models for future care both involve major cuts across all services including an end to all maternity and dedicated children's services in Bedford. The move comes in spite of the hospital's high safety rating and the growing local population.
Having held the first seventeen open street surgeries of his ongoing summer village tour, Mayor Dave Hodgson has thanked everyone who has come out to speak to him so far. Mayor Dave is once again getting out and about to villages right across Bedford Borough to enable people to talk to him directly about the issues that matter to them and their community.
