Quentin Davies Rejects Trust's Proposals for Grantham Hospital 8 February 2007
Grantham | Health | Press Release
Quentin Davies MP issued the following statement:
“The proposals made today by United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust , if implemented, will prejudice entirely the result of the current enquiry into the future of Grantham Hospital, which was said to be a fair and objective process.
By pulling emergency surgery out of the hospital, the Accident & Emergency department will be seriously, perhaps fatally, undermined and I am sure that the Trust knows that perfectly well. The Trust is justifying its decision on the basis of an opinion voiced by a surgeon who is retiring in March and who up to now has been operating without protest and apparently happily under the existing arrangements.
Everyone in Grantham recalls all too well that when Level 3 critical care was pulled out of Grantham in 2005, we were promised that this would not in any way weaken the viability of other activities in the hospital.
I fear we see once again that promises of this kind delivered by United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust are not worth the air expended on their expression.”
