Stop the "closure by stealth" of Cavendish Hospital, Buxton.

Closed 1,486 signatures

What the petition asks

Spencer Ward at the Cavendish Hospital is earmarked for closure under new proposals.

This will mean that the Cavendish Hospital, will have just 8 Beds to serve the needs of the High Peak area.

This is unacceptable and in short we oppose these changes.
The consultation began Wednesday 29 June 2016 and closes on Wednesday 5 October 2016.

The proposals are to close more than 100 beds across Nth Derbyshire, who currently care for the elderly and dementia sufferers.

This petition is with particular references to the Cavendish Hospital.

It is unacceptable to expect patients / relatives to travel to CRH / Walton Hospital for services which are currently provided within the Cavendish. We oppose any changes to the Cavendish.
