COULD there be greater irony? Patients for whom beds cannot be found at Ronkswood are sent to Kidderminster General instead, (Evening News, September 2).
Surely this is the exact opposite situation to that envisaged by the big-wigs who run the NHS in this area?
What stands out a mile is that the Kidderminster Hospital should not close. Furthermore, the Castle Street Branch of Worcester Royal Infirmary should not close either, until such time as another new hospital is built in the county and maybe not even then.
Incidentally, whatever is going to happen next January when the next epidemic of flu and related illnesses strikes the area?
Nor, or course, is there much hope for the future, as things stand. The new hospital will be utterly inadequate in size.
We should adopt French and other European Union policies and give priority to health, not the reduction of taxes.
