Stop the closure of Okehampton Maternity unit

Okehampton maternity unit has been reported in the local press as 'set to close'. This would mean a further journey of 25 miles to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital for mums in labour - this is unacceptable and potentially puts the lives of the unborn babies and their mothers in danger. We want the closure stopped.

Why is this important?

The maternity unit is an excellent (and essential) local facility - it should be held up as an example of excellent, local, dedicated care to the rest of the NHS, not closed.
Please sign the petition to raise awareness of the plight of the maternity unit and hopefully draw it to the attention of the Prime Minister.

Okehampton, Devon.
