Save Surbiton Hospital II

Things seem to be hotting up on the Save Surbiton Hospital front.

In conversation with the Editor of the Surrey Comet they agreed to run a campaign to fight any closure of the hospital. As he remarked to me there is a certain sense of déjà vu as it is only six years ago they were apparently going to go away and plan its future. No idea what happened to that and it is very curious they are now taking such fast action to close down the beds.

The Comet has set up a campaign website on their own:
Surrey Comet

I have also started an online epetiton on the Council website so we can apply pressure there.

We also have a
motion being debated at Full Council next week.

I also have a meeting on Monday 3rd October with the CEO of the PCT so I can understand a little more what this is about and why the PCT can be so overspent considering how much of our tax goes to the NHS.
