Save North street and Vale street surgery
Keep the surgeries open for the local community, and especially for elderly people and those who have young kids with travel and communication issues, and save 30 plus jobs.
Why is this important?
If the surgeries close the patients would be dispersed to further away location such as Long Lee and as far as Cottengley 5 to 6 miles away. The transport for unwell elderly patients would be extremely difficult and the waiting list for appointments would be extremely long to these surgeries due to the fact that they would be taking on thousands of patients from north street surgery and vale street surgery.
The health and well being for the elderly and people with transport issues is not being taken in to consideration by the NHS. People with communication and transport problems will be be most affected because north street surgery and vale street surgery have a diverse staff to deal with people of all languages and back grounds.
Between 20 to 30 people from these surgeries would lose there jobs hard working people trying to help and serve there communities .
