Mike Penning welcomes delay in A&E closure


2nd July 2008

Mike Penning responds to delay in acute services move.

Following today’s announcement that acute services at Hemel Hospital will not close until March 2009, local MP, Mike Penning said:

“Whilst I, of course, welcome the delay in closing Hemel’s much needed acute services I am deeply disappointed that it is purely because of so-called ‘technical reasons’. I had hoped that it would have been because the NHS Trust had seen some sense and realised that a town the size of Hemel needs a fully functioning General Hospital.

“I am committed to fighting the closures and loss of A&E in Hemel. Every day people stop me to tell me that Hemel needs its hospital.”
