Stop the closure of orthopaedic services and surgery at Ipswich Hospital!
The Issue
Stop the closure of orthopaedics services and surgery at Ipswich Hospital!
No more downsizing of Ipswich Hospital or its core services.
No more downgrading Ipswich as a regional authority or centre!
Conservative MP for the town Tom Hunt and Labour leader of Ipswich Borough Council David Ellesmere have stated:
"The proposals would put Ipswich Hospital in the highly unusual position of being a general hospital which doesn’t provide elective orthopaedic surgery. Based on figures from 2018, Ipswich Hospital serves around 390,000 people and we aren’t aware of any other general hospital of a similar size in the East of England which doesn’t offer a full complement of orthopaedic services”

"Another painful example of how the downgrading of Ipswich as an authority and place diminishes all Suffolk".
We the undersigned agree.
