BYE BYE Hemel Hospital

Mike Penning MP attended the hospital public meeting in St Albans on Monday night

Essentially:

* The West Herts Hospital trust has a predicted debt of £100 million and hence to clear this debt:

* 90% of Hemel Hospital services will be shut in March 2007
Verulum wing stays and new surgicentre if it is built.

* At present there is no funding for the proposed PFI Hatfield hospital or for improvements at Watford hospital.

* Essentially all the “so called planned” health improvements have been cancelled,
Hemel hospital will be almost closed and Watford Hospital will be expected to cope.

* There will now be a consultation!!!!!

All quite unbelievable.

So Labour and the Bureaucrats have finally achieved their goal of getting rid of our Hospital.
