Over the last month we have all seen that EKHUFT has been in the news about multiple failings in Maternity, moving stroke services to Ashford and now they want to close the Urgent Treatment Centre at K&C as well at 8pm.  This means that all Canterbury residents and surrounding towns and villages will have to go to Ashford or Margate A&E and we’ve all seen what they are like.  They can’t cope now let alone with even more patients.

I have seen Rosie Duffield is strongly against this and CHEK.  I’ve read all the comments on her page and the Kentonline story last week and you are all saying we need to fight this, so we have to start somewhere!

please sign and ask your family and friends to sign too.  My parents live 5 mins from K&C and if the UTC closes at night it’s a long journey to Ashford or Margate and not all people can drive.  They are putting people’s lives at risk doing this and they cannot be allowed to do it!

With Christ Church College less than 5 mins from K&C as well as the huge amount of new builds, this is totally unacceptable.  Canterbury is a Cathedral City and needs a more modern hospital.  Build a new one EKHUFT with your millions from the Government , stop spending it on unnecessary  things like bank nursing, solar panels, and a stroke unit at Ashford, when we have a perfectly good one here in Canterbury.  Consult with your residents.

Could this be the downfall of K&C full stop?
