Save Huddersfield Royal Infirmary A&E department.

Reconsider the terrible decision to close Huddersfield Royal Infirmary Accident & Emergency department.

Why is this important?

Huddersfield is one of the largest towns in the UK. It has a growing economy and thriving student population. To take away the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary A&E will undoubtedly cost lives (with Calderdale Royal Hospital being the 'nearest' A&E). It will increase the burden on Primary Care, especially in rural areas where resources are already limited.

Latest news reports suggest this could be the start of a bigger plan to demolish the HRI completely, which would be catastrophic not only in terms of job losses but potential lives lost, and again increasing the strain on over-stretched Primary Care services.

Thanks for the support so far and please keep sharing the link! it would be great to get to 10,000 signatures by the end of the weekend. We have had so much support on twitter (some great re-tweets), so please get the message out there with the hashtag #SaveHuddersfieldInfirmary or #HRI with a link to this petition. It's important that petitions like this come from the electorate and are not tied to party politics.
