Be fair, most hospitals don't have an extra 20 mile drive attached down one of the worst roads in the UK so it was bound to score poorly!

It doesn't matter how many voted, what matters is what they voted for. Don't they know what a democracy is? Again I'd love to see the wording of the ballot papers though.

Will less patients hospitalised locally mean more or less work for GPs? Will their pay get cut/raise accordingly?

I doubt that it's any skin of their noses one way or the other.

A surprising amount of spoilt ballot papers - http://www.jeremylefroy.org.uk/news/gp-ballot-result - it would be interesting to know in what manner they were spoilt....

"Press Release from Support Stafford Hospital
Of the 98 GPs in Stafford and Surrounds, only 19 responded in support of the downgrading of acute services at Stafford Hospital and proposed changes to Cannock Hospital. Of the 77 GPs represented by Cannock Chase Clinical Commissioning Group, only 10 responded supporting the Trust Special Administrators' recommendations.
It is very concerning that only 19% of Stafford GPs and only 13% of Cannock GPs chose to support their CCGs' official position on the matter.
What is even more concerning is our understanding that the Local Medical Committee, which represents individual GPs, actively advised its GP membership to consider not responding to the ballot.
If the CCGs truly represent the views of their local GPs, why was this necessary?
Could it be that the CCGs do not accurately reflect the views of their membership when it comes to the future of Stafford and Cannock Hospitals?
Until the CCGs can clearly demonstrate, with supported evidence, that they fully represent the views of the membership, we do not believe the Secretary of State for Health can legally approve the recommendations within the framework of the tests that need to be met before any reconfiguration can proceed."
