MIGHT I please thank your readers in Birkenhead who have responded to my letter regarding the proposed changes to our urgent care services?

The near unanimous message from the feedback I have received is one of strong opposition to the proposed changes. Residents inform me that their preference is for our existing minor injuries services to be both protected and extended in our local communities – not moved to Arrowe Park.

The closing date for submissions is December12. I very much hope that as many of us as possible will be able to make our views known to the health authorities, before they make their final decision.

Frank Field, Birkenhead MP
