Title: Please help save our A&E A1/M62
Post by Geoff_W on Oct 17^th, 2011, 6:52pm

Golden Hour in jeopardy!

Please help if you can.

Our local health trust are in process of reviewing the future of the A&E at Pontefract in West Yorkshire as part of a process that has been dragging on over recent years.

If you travel on the A1 or on the M62 south of Leeds or on the East Coast main line then an accident between 10pm and 8am would put you at even greater risk, with no Air Ambulance available after dusk.

Yvette Cooper our MP as Junior Health Secretary and subsequently Treasury Minister drove through a PFI, which closed and demolished our existing infirmary replacing it with a smaller shiny new building with few services and even fewer beds with the promise it would guarantee health provision in our part of the world.

She made promise after promise about what her new hospital would do and made her pledges for votes.

Now she pops up on the BBC looking glum and blaming "government cuts" for a closure arising from the actions of her Labour administration.

Thanks folks, the more the merrier.

To those that may be thinking about it, please help us out, it could be you or yours that needs an A&E at some point.
