We, the undersigned, call upon Worcestershire County Council to maintain funding for Ludlow Road, Kidderminster, NHS Short Breaks Service, and keep it open. Further, we call upon the NHS, CCG, and other statutory health & care bodies to work with the County Council to find a solution to secure its future. Ludlow Road provides specialist care for the disabled young people that use it, and so allows their carer families the valuable respite they need. Such specialist services cannot be readily replaced and closure will likely lead to demands elsewhere in the health and care system making the closure of Ludlow Road a false economy.
