LETTER: Let's not take the NHS for granted
On Saturday I learned Barnsley Hospital had stopped taking stroke patients.
These are being sent to Pinderfields, now serving an area which used to have three hospitals.

Leaked West Yorkshire Footprint documents indicate the equivalent of five ward closures in Leeds Hospitals.
People need to write to their local councillors and ask them to demand the West Yorkshire footprint plan be published and to refuse to sign it off without seeing and agreeing the full document.
Do not take the health service for granted - It isn’t.
