Fair Funding for Buckinghamshire
We ask you to ensure that Buckinghamshire not only receives the national average in funds, but we also receive enough public funding so that key services are restored to Wycombe Hospital.
Why is this important?
For a substantial amount of time now, Buckinghamshire has received less funding per capita than most of the country for our hospitals. This ‘cash-starving’ or 'squeeze' contributed to downgrades at Amersham and Wycombe hospitals and our Trust has recently been in 'special measures'.
Since the downgrades at Wycombe hospital, many people have suffered and neighbouring hospitals have been overwhelmed.
Staff, patients and their loved ones deserve better.
