Hands off Good Hope Hospital
Please stop your campaign to change the name of the hospital from 'Good Hope' to 'The Royal Sutton Coldfield Hospital.'
Why is this important?
This change would do nothing to improve patient care and the costs of doing it would be significant. With the NHS under severe financial pressure to suggest that money to be spent on an unnecessary name change is rather insensitive. There is no apparent desire for this change among the staff or patients. The name has a long history and connects to the original benefactor and it will always be know as 'Good Hope' to those of us who have used its services. There are far more important matters affecting health care where your assistance would be appreciated.
How it will be delivered
The petition will be emailed to Andrew Mitchell and the 'Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust.'
