COMMENTS BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE NEW FOREST AND THE EASTLEIGH AND TEST VALLEY SOUTH PRIMARY CARE TRUSTS

Motion Text

That this House deplores the question `Where's the bin', asked by the Chief Executive of the New Forest and the Eastleigh and Test Valley South Primary Care Trusts, after receiving a petition containing the names of 40,980 people who wish in-patient beds to remain in the Fenwick, Fordingbridge, Hythe, Milford-on-Sea and Romsey Community Hospitals; and fears that this is further evidence of the PCT's determination to press on with an uncosted and ill-conceived scheme for treatment at home regardless of overwhelming opposition to their proposals by the residents of the Romsey, New Forest East and New Forest West constituencies.
