SUPPORT OUR PETITION ONLINE...
To the House of Commons:
The petition of the people of Braintree declares that a new community hospital on the site of the former St. Michael’s hospital in Braintree is a vital part of a renewed community hospital network which is needed to deliver improved local care.
The petitioners declare that the continuing delays in approving a new community hospital for the people of Braintree, together with an ongoing programme of cuts and closures to viable and valued community hospitals, is at odds with the commitment made in the Health White Paper “Our Health, Our Care, Our Say”.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons shall urge the Department of Health to remove any remaining barriers to the construction of a community hospital for the people of Braintree.
And the petitioners remain, etc.” |
