Robert Jackson campaigns for
a better NHS
While
the Minister talks about more money for health, Robert Jackson joined all-party
Local campaign against the Government's decision to close Community Hospitals
and beds in Oxfordshire - notably at Wallingford and Wantage
Labour
has diverted resources away from areas like Oxfordshire because we are all
supposed to be more healthy than elsewhere. As a result 2 local hospitals have
been closed, we have lost beds at Wantage, and Wallingford Hospital was only
saved at the last minute.
