So the hospital was never a viable proposition, Advertiser, August 1.
Save a Ludlow Town Surgery (SALTS) challenged the figures for the number of referrals to the new hospital (on the basis of research done by Gill George) and we were roundly shouted down.
At the time I couldn’t make sense of the campaign against SALTS headed up by Peter Corfield and Philip Dunne.
After all, the threat that they were supposedly dealing with was half a dozen middle class women, almost all of whom were pensionable age. What seems likely now is that the idea was to make sure there was no examination of the case. Should this be so, we are looking at an extremely costly vanity project.
Already a number of people have identified that there needs to be an inquiry – not one of these £2.5m, two-year affairs, but a rapid examination of the paper work by someone with no axe to grind.
