I have been following with great interest the ‘possible’ closure of Minor Injury Units in Wisbech, Doddington and Ely.
Maybe people in Whittlesey think that if this goes ahead – it will no affect us here – Wrong….
There are around 40+ Thousand people in Wisbech alone – they will not all head for Kings Lynn – many will head towards Peterborough.
This puts even more strain on a service which at the least is struggling to cope now.
MP Steve Barclay has made some remarks and has received leaked information from a ‘whistleblower’ indicating that the only option is to close the MIU in all 3 places.
So is this yet another case where the ‘unelected’ make the decisions – then go out as they have – for a consultation – which looks like it gets binned?
I plan to attend and listen first hand to what the CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) –
I expect the meeting to be ‘heated’
