The
Stop the Downgrade Campaign

September 2008 -
Support for massive commitment to St. John's
Following the release on Thursday of the report outlining
plans for a new Elective Surgical Centre based at St.
John’s Hospital we have been inundated with calls,
not just welcoming NHS Lothian’s commitment to such
a HUGE increase in both numbers of patients attending
at, and catchment area covered by St. John’s, but
excitement and enthusiasm for the influx of consultants,
doctor’s, nurses and jobs that this will also bring.
This
whole package which NHS Lothian (and supported on behalf
of the CHCP-primary care by the Chair) is committed to
providing, represents not only a large investment but
in a significant move will see thousands travelling to
West Lothian daily.
