Huge Response to Hospital Campaign
I am continuing to receive a huge response to my campaign to highlight the possible changes at the Royal Victoria Hospital. In some cases, entire blocks of flats and roads appear to have signed. There is most certainly a very strong view that the services provided by the Rehab wards should not be moved to Buckland at Dover. Understandably, local people believe that this will impose travel pressures on relatives and that it will be another loss of an important local service.
