Dr Geoff Payne, medical director for the NHS Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Cluster, said: “During our consultation phase, we will work hard to reach as many individuals and organisations as possible, to discuss our proposals and hear what people think.
“There are some very committed individuals in our local communities who will want reassurance that what we are suggesting is best for local patients. We need to listen and take account of their views."
Wycombe MP Steve Baker has also urged “everybody who cares about Wycombe Hospital” hospital to take part in the consultation.
You can also take part by filling in section 12 of the consultation document (see link below).

It will all be staged so they can get the result they want.
