SAVE SOUTHPORT A&E!

SOUTHPORT hospital's adult A&E department's future now rests in the hands of the House of Commons due to high financial debts that where incurred this year to the Southport & Ormskirk Hospital Trust via Ormskirk hospital!  Southport’s MP John Pugh is backing a campaign to keep the A&E dept in Southport after it was revealed that it could be moved to Ormskirk!  Mr Pugh has already collected more than 5,000 signatures for a petition, which he intends to present to parliament. Adult A&E only moved from Ormskirk Hospital to Southport Hospital last July. If the option went ahead Southport’s A&E would be replaced with a Walk-In Centre and adult A&E would be moved to Ormskirk Hospital.
