QE2 ward closures consultation

Is everyone/anyone aware of the public meeting being held next Friday to consult on the proposed closures of wards at QE2 hospital as well as the plan to stop blue light service to the A&E, leaving Lister our nearest A&E? Details may be in today's Mercury but apparantly you need to book a seat beforehand.

This is a national money saving trend which is already set in stone!

But didn't they say that this was to get their budget under control so as not to put at risk the new £500m hospital that is going to be built in Hatfield? It will be interesting to see what will become of the QE2 buildinmgs once the Hatfield hospital is built.

I hear there are plans to shut A&E at Chase Farm too, this will put a lot of pressure on Princess Alexandra at Harlow if QEII and Chase Farm A&Es close. Mad.

MONEY!!!!! If the country can give money to third world countries and get rid of their debt why cant they get rid of the NHS debt and let them start a fresh- the NHS is on a slippery slope and without BIG help it will never recover!!!!! I think i will be the second Geldolf and campaign for 'getting rid of NHS debt!' ANY SUPPORTERS????????

I think we should all have an education in the U.S. healthcare system. That will jolt everybody into action.
