Save Lives. Save Teignmouth Community Hospital. Protect OUR NHS.
Stop the A&E crisis with ambulances not able to discharge patients due to General Hospitals having insufficient beds and Community Hospitals being closed. Reverse the decision to close Teignmouth Hospital, the first purpose-built hospital for the NHS. Ensure that our NHS remains in public ownership.
Teignmouth Hospital opened in 1954 and is much loved, well used and can easily be refurbished and reconfigured for much less than the proposed Health and Wellbeing Centre. The Independent Reconfiguration Panel needs to re-exam the evidence on medical grounds to see if the CCG proposal is in our best medical interests. Through Freedom of Information requests, we have proved that the consultation was predetermined and evidenced research has to begin. The removed beds must be reinstated for proof.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the closure of hospitals are a matter for individual clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you are concerned about this closure, you should contact NHS Devon CCG: devonccg.nhs.uk/contact-us
