MORE.....
We don!t NEEDany cuts to Calderdale and Huddersfield A&E departments. Calderdale A&E isdoing fine by its patients. The Emergency Care Intensive Support Team has just reportedpositively on Calderdale and Huddersfield A&E departments.
We don!t WANTto travel extra miles for accident and emergency care, when lives are at risk and
transport costs are sky high.
This isn!t just about closing Calderdale A&E.
THE PROPOSALS ARE ABOUT DISMANTLING HOSPITAL SERVICES IN CALDERDALE ANDGREATER HUDDERSFIELD
Hospital services across the board will be reduced. Patients will have to pick up the slack, in a newmodel of community health and social care services.
The community health and social care services would support people to take maximum responsibilityfor their own care and wellbeing. (The quotes are from an official letter in answer to questions we haveraised.)
These community based services would be run by the area!s two NHS trusts and Locala (a companythat provides community health care in Kirklees), together with GPs and social care and voluntaryorganisations.
OUR NHS IS ACTING IN SECRECY, AS BUSINESSES INSTEAD OF A PUBLIC SERVICE
The public and the politicians who represent us have heard next to nothing about what kind of healthand social care we will receive in this new system.

OUR NHS IS ACTING IN SECRECY, AS BUSINESSES INSTEAD OF A PUBLIC SERVICE
This whole plan has been cooked up by three local NHS organisations that operate as businesses andtake decisions without any democratic control and accountability:
Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust (CHFT), Locala and South West Yorkshire Partnership
NHS Foundation Trust (the mental health trust).
As businesses, these organisations haven!t had to tell our MPs what plans they were hatching - not evenwhen Linda Riordan MP called a debate in the House of Commons and asked for information from theSecretary of State for Health.
The public and our local Councillors still haven!t seen the Report that!s the basis for the proposals.Councillors have only heard an outline presentation of the Strategic Outline Case, that contains fullinformation about the plans for reducing our hospital services and replacing them with community services.They haven!t seen that either.
THESE ARE SOMEOF THE REASONS WHY WE SAY,
NO A&E CUTS IN CALDERDALE AND HUDDERSFIELD
