Answer
Used a&e 4 times myself in 12 years daughter used once hubby used once treated as outpatient 1 myself and hubby twice in 10 years 300000 people signed our pitition our hospital covers a lot of outlying villages and other townsi work as a taxi driver and when picking up passangers early morning (2,3 ,4,5 am) am often allowed through the doors in reception to treatment areas and so see how many people are treated and firmly beleive that if they take away our a&e as planned it will result in loss of life. my dad in law died of a heart attact and if he would have had to travel to the next nearest hospital because we had no a&e 90% of our family would not have had the chance to say goodbye to him
