Feb. 27th, 2007 07:37 pmI have a petition for the British people among you.
Save the Royal Surrey Hospital.
Basically, they're threatening to close this (bloody huge) hospital because of cutbacks, when ambulances in the area already have too far to go to hit the target time to get from hospital to emergency. Which means... people who have accidents or become ill in my area (and it is a very large area) either have to go private, which most can't afford, or face a minimum half-hour journey just to get to the hospital.
Anyone remember me talking about this? That was the hospital she was taken to after her accident, and it was one of two units in the country that had a) a place to land nearby and b) the equipment necessary to stabilize her. Count 'em. Two. And they want to close one.
Please sign the petition if you think this is wrong/dumb/ill-advised?
Thank you.
