SOS Grantham Hospital Campaign to save Maternity Unit & A&E Operations

 Campaigning to Save Grantham Hospital Services...

SOS Grantham Hospital members are campaigning to oppose the cuts being made at Grantham Hospital including the loss of the Midwifery Unit and the continuation of cuts originally made by the Primary Care Trust to Accident & Emergency operations. 

We are also calling for Grantham residents to have the same access to Acute Stroke care as provided to Boston and Lincoln residents who now have upgraded stroke units. Grantham Hospital is to become an After Care Unit for Stroke victims. When someone has a stroke time is of the essence, this is not good enough!

The Shaping Health and South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group propose to increase elective surgery at Grantham Hospital. This is welcome but cannot be at the cost of Acute Services when our population is growing and we are beyond the "golden hour" transport time to Lincoln and Boston Hospitals.

For further details take a look at the SOS Grantham Hospital Facebook site.

 

Come and join Campaign. All welcome!
