Save Wythenshawe Hospital's General Surgery

Stop the proposed plans to transfer General, Orthopedic and Vascular surgery from Wythenshawe Hospital to the MRI

Why is this important?

The proposed move of these services will have a detrimental effect to the people of South Manchester. Consultants and medical staff have raised their concerns over the new proposal and believe that it will have a knock on effect to the care provided in A&E and also other areas of the hospital such as Maternity and paediatrics, cardiothoracics and heart transplant. My son was treated at Wythenshawe hospital for a ruptured appendix by the general surgeons had this service not been available we would have had to wait for a transfer to the MRI by ambulance which would have been life threatening to him. As someone who uses these services and lives in the surrounding area it is vital that these services are kept at wythenshawe hospital keeping the health and safety of the people of South Manchester and Trafford at the forefront. Would you like to go to an A&E department only to be told your life threatening condition could not be treated there and you would have to wait to be transferred to a different hospital? I wouldn't !
People of South Manchester we have until the 15th July to voice our concerns when the Healthier Together Programme will either reject or comission this proposal !
Please sign and share to fight for our hospital

How it will be delivered

This petition will be emailed and given in person to Mike Kane MP for Wythenshawe, the Healthier Together Programme and The Chief Executive of Wythenshawe Hospital

Wythenshawe Hospital, Southmoor Road, Wythenshawe
