A FRIEND'S workmate recently attended Kidderminster General Hospital to have stitches put into a cut finger and yet had to then go to Redditch to have a dressing on it.

No wonder the downgrading was so unpopular. It was a pathetic decision made by Health Service Management. I do not dispute the excellent work of the doctors, but the Wyre Forest Health Management should all resign.

Why should we in Worcester gain at Kidderminster's expense?
