Save the Royal Surrey Hospital

Over the years, hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved at this marvellous hospital thanks to the work and expertise of all the doctors, nurses and other staff.

But sadly, the health bosses in the South East seem adamant that this valued hospital could be one of the victims in their shameless cost-cutting exercise.

Surrey and Sussex Strategic Health Authority is looking for ways to save ₤100 million per year, due to a massive funding discrepancy that has occurred over the years.

And yes - the Accident and Emergency Department at the Royal Surrey could be the first of many acute services at the hospital to go.

The sad reality is patients could have to travel for more than 70 minutes to reach the nearest A&E Department. If this happens there is no doubt that lives will be lost.

And of course, what other departments might follow if this initial action should happen? It already has a fantastic record for the treatment of cancer. Do we want any of this put in jeopardy?

There have already been rallies and petitions organised protesting against the threat of any closure.

Why don't we, the businesses, groups and residents of Grayshott support this with our own demonstration.

It is proposed that as many people as possible, in support of keeping our local A&E Dept open, congregate at the Village Square at midday on Saturday 28th and then march up to the A3, (or be pushed in prams or wheelchairs) with appropriate banners, and then along the A3 to Crossways Road and back to the Village Square for a peaceful dispersal.
