More cuts to Stafford Hospital A&E

[proactive]

Those of us with the patience will have just received a Lefroy newsletter email. It seems to have no obvious mention of hospital matters.

According to some inside information, I understand that we might brace ourselves for a final admission that A&E will close fully at Stafford about April-time. This is not 'official' information, of course, but it comes from people that ought to know what's actually going on.

Just received his newsletter. The guy seems absolutely convinced that he is the Honourable Member for Stoke on Trent.

Are they abolishing Stafford as a constituency then?

Opthamology has now moved to Cannock so that's another department out of there! That means I now do not visit Stafford at all for any of my Diabetic care. GP clinic, Greyfriars Therapy unit, Chiropodists, Cannock or my opticians take care of it all, for now!
While all of these are for ongoing care, and an absolute pain in the arse to deal with some of them, A&E will cost lives due to delays. Of that, I have no doubt!

I think everyone is sure of that.

Some, though, simply do not care.

Kerching.

He is the member for a constituency that have given him a steadily increasing majority - up to 55% last time.

Why bother?

In a few years a mile and a half away from A and E will be a shiny new HS2 ?

I'm sure that'll keep our spirits up.

Especially for those taken seriously ill who live in Hopton.

She's one of the lucky ones. A mate of mine's house is 5m the wrong side of compulsory purchase so now worth nothing.

Feel so sorry for all those affected by the bloody HS2

A word of thanks to the very hard working NHS staff at every level .

You work extremely hard under very poor conditions for long often unpaid hours

You know who you are and you are appreciated by those you look after and their friends and relatives

I'm very sorry that you have to operate under such adverse circumstances and for the way you have been taken for granted by the political elite

Don't give up
