Epsom Hospital Update

LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN

Thousands march in support of Epsom HospitalFollowing the rally, we are organising a further letter writing campaign to keep up pressure on the board of the two Trusts involved in the future of Epsom Hospital. If you want to write to express your concerns, please write to:

Mike Doherty
Chairman
Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust
Wrythe Lane
Carshalton
SM5 1AA

And

Chris Butler
Chief Executive
Surrey Primary Care Trust
Bournewood House
Guildford Road
Chertsey
KT16 0QA

In particular, we want to restate our support for maternity provision at Epsom, which is the next service to be under threat. However we also want to make it clear that possible further substantial cuts to services as a result of NHS funding problems in Surrey would be completely unacceptable.
