Last week was the public meeting in Pontefract on the closure of our A&E. The Trust should now be in no doubt about the scale of anger and sense of betrayal in our area about the decisions the board has made and the promises to us they have broken.
It is imperative they now take urgent action to re-open A&E, as well as wards 1 and 2 at Pontefract to put this right. This meeting is not the end, we will not let up in our campaign.
That’s why as well as carrying on with our petition, I’ve sent a letter to the Chair of the Trust Board seeking an urgent meeting. I wanted to share the letter with you, so I’ve copied it below for you to read.
You can read the letter here. You can add your name to our petition by clicking on the link below and you can also sign up to the facebook page here.
