BURNAGE WALK-IN CENTRE, MANCHESTER

That this House notes the high level of opposition to the closing of the Burnage Walk-In Centre by Manchester NHS as evidenced by the large number of local residents signing a petition for its reopening; further notes that the statistics provided by NHS Manchester show that the Burnage Walk-In Centre had the lowest cost per patient of all the walk-in centres in South Manchester; further notes that local residents have complained that transport to Withington Community Hospital is infrequent and difficultfor many Burnage residents; and urges NHS Manchester to recognise the highvalue of the centre to Burnage residents and to reopen the Burnage Walk-In Centre as soon as possible.
