Save Goole and District Hospital
Plans are in motion to close Goole hospital as a 24/7 service to outpatients only. Meaning residents and staff will be forced to travel all over East Riding to work and receive care as an inpatient. Save Goole hospital.
Why is this important?
The future of Goole and District Hospital could be under threat. The local NHS trust has "started work to look at future potential opportunities" and staff were informed last week that several wards have been earmarked for closure in the new year.
Gooles population is vast and growing. The closure of the hospital will be detrimental to patients, especially to the elderly who will find it much harder to access the care and treatment they need.
The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust has said no decision has been made over the potential closure of wards which is why we need to let them know exactly what the public thinks about such plans. Sign the petition now!
