Save Our Hospitals!
West Cornwall residents have for nearly 12 months been unable to access treatment after 9pm at West Cornwall Hospital. This means that people who need urgent healthcare have to travel between 25 (Penzance) and 35 (St Just) miles to access it.
Meanwhile, the future of the promised Women and Children’s Hospital at Treliske has been thrown into doubt.
The £291m project would combine maternity, neonatal, paediatric and obstetric and gynaecology services and was scheduled for completion by 2028. However, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the previous government's plans were “unfunded and undeliverable.”
Andrew George is campaigning to secure the future of this vital project as well as the restoration of 24/7 opening at West Cornwall UTC.
Reopen West Cornwall Hospital at night and Secure Future of Women and Children Hospital at Treliske
We, the under-signed, demand that our Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at West Cornwall Hospital, closed at night for almost a year, be fully re-instated as a 24/7 service, complete with safe staffing, compliant medical and diagnostic backup and reliable ambulance cover. We also call on the government to secure the future of the promised Women and Children's hospital at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske.
