Save Accident and Emergency in Darlington

We the undersigned object to any proposal to close the Accident and Emergency Facilities at Darlington Memorial Hospital. We call on the local NHS Trusts to re-open facilities at Bishop Auckland and Hartlepool as existing A and E Departments are unable to cope.

Why is this important?

There are 181 Accident and Emergency Departments in England and Wales. There is a plan to reduce that number to only 70 Major Emergency Departments. There may be as few as 40. This plan must be stopped. We must keep all of our A and Es..Darlington is in danger of losing the Accident and Emergency Department designation.

How it will be delivered

Deliver in person and stage a press conference.

We have already collected 1500 names by asking people to sign a paper petition, but not everybody is able to do that so we have decided to take this on line.
