There’s a consultation exercise about the proposed closure of St Peter’s Hospital, Maldon, until 21 March. The site isn’t safe or fit for purpose. We’re lobbying to keep investigative and outpatient services available in our area. We’re invited to submit evidence to a public consultation hearing on 19 March. WE’VE ARRANGED A VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING ABOUT THIS FOR SWF FROM 1830-2000 ON TUESDAY 5 MARCH; PLEASE PUT THIS VITAL MEETING IN YOUR DIARY; THE FUTURE OF OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL SERVICES IS AT STAKE; joining details will follow. So many SWF people go to St Peter’s for appointments, treatments and investigations. These community primary services must remain available locally. Other places, including Broomfield Hospital, are already overwhelmed and don’t have additional capacities.
