QEII campaign looks doomed
3:02pm Friday 14th December 2007
Comments (1)HEALTH chiefs are almost certain to relocate emergency treatment from the QEII Hospital to Stevenage's Lister when they meet on Wednesday.
An official recommendation to the board of Hertfordshire Primary Care Trust in favour of the Lister is contained in papers published today.
The decision would fly face of the majority of consultation responses and a vigorous local campaign backing the Welwyn Garden City hospital, and could well be challenged in the courts.
Another key recommendation backs the continuation of planned surgery at St Albans City Hospital rather than in Hemel Hempstead.
The board will be making its final decisions at a public meeting in Hatfield on Wednesday.

ninkaroo, Welwyn Hatfield says...

It seems pretty clear to me that we now live in a bureaucratic dictatorship. Same with Labour's promise of a referendum on the EU treaty. It is disgraceful and dishonourable behaviour by leadership at all levels of governement in this country today.
