There is a lot going on at the moment. This area is top of the list for "re-configuration" which will determine what our health service is like for the next 30 years.
Here is a list of dates for public meetings where you can find out some more.
Monitor are trying to work out if the financial holes can be plugged.
The CCGs Clinical Commissioning Groups are trying to work out what their priorities should be when they do not have enough money to go round.
District General hospitals all over the country are on the ropes as a string of recent reports show us.
In this area the CCGs have realised that they have not yet done enough to communicate with the public and have stated that they will aim to ensure that the public consultation, that they must do to justify the changes they propose, reaches 140,000 people. This contrasts with other areas like Trafford where the the "public consultation" reached almost none of the public and was just a rubber stamp exercise for a hospital downgrade.
There are a number of people trying to keep an eye on what is happening - but it is a vast job - and we need more people to keep track. If you are able to get to any of the public meetings to help work out what on earth is going on then your help would be really welcome!
