STOP the closure of another A&E department in the North East...
Proposals would see A&E departments across Teesside, Durham and Darlington reduced from four to three; putting additional pressure on existing services. Contradicting the Government’s pledge to ‘improve the health of the country’ and 'making services easier for patients to access'.
The loss of local A&E Services in Hartlepool in 2011, has already caused unnecessary hardship and inconvenience for patients who now travel to Stockton to access A&E. The road infrastructure (A19 / A66) is inadequate; causing delays for ambulances and patients, potentially causing unnecessary deaths. The remaining four A&E Departments serve Hartlepool, Stockton, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Darlington, with a total population of 662,800 (2011 Census).
