Keep Cheltenham A&E department open.
Save Cheltenham General Hospital A&E from closing because the nearest hospital is 10 miles away in Gloucester.
Local people need this A&E department in CGH, Gloucester is busy enough already, adding patients to this by closing Cheltenham A&E will only cause more pain, suffering or unnecessary death and expense of discharged in the early hours, a taxi from GRH back to Cheltenham is around £25/£30.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. This would be a decision for Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

You could also ask your local MP to raise the issue on your behalf. You can find out who your MP is, and how to contact them, here:

You could start a new petition calling for an action that is the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament, for example a petition calling for increased funding for Accident and Emergency Services in your area.
