We the undersigned petition the council to Campaign to stop the banning of walk-ins to A&E's at our local hospitals.
The Conservative Government proposes to remove the facility to ‘walk-in’ to A&E departments across the country. Around 65% of those who attend A&E are walk-ins, so this would be a major reduction in a well used NHS service and will lead to unnecessary deaths. Other than arriving by ambulance, patients would have to book an appointment. There had been no public consultation on this, despite this being a legal requirement for major changes to a NHS services.The Government should reverse the decision to stop walk-ins to A&E's.
Most local people are totally unaware that walk-ins to A&E's
are to be banned by the end of November. this petition will raise
awareness and encourage the Council and local residents to object
most strongly before local lives are lost unnecessarily.
