Campaigners launch fight to keep beds at Wycombe Hospital (From Bucks Free Press)

Good news and I never thought I'd say it but at least the Labour party have undertaken some thorough research, if they spent more time doing that than putting spurious complaints in to attack opponents, they would be a far more credible opposition.

Buckinghamshire needs not just a main hospital in the middle of the county at Stoke Mandeville but also one in the south and north of the county too. As it is not strategically placed High Wycombe Hospital should close altogether. However the town like other large places in the vicinity should all be given an accident and emergency centre with some bed provision. This would complement the sterling work done by paramedics and allow the best health care at minimal cost.

this site will soon become luxury appartments it will not be long before the hospital can treat nobody then it will be pulled down it's what they have wanting to do for a long time

Ah, so High Wycombe is not in the south of the county. I wonder where it is.
.
I've also heard that Stoke Mandeville is not in the middle of Bucks either.
.
I know that Olney is in North Bucks - perhaps that's what you mean.

M40 on the doorstep
accident hotspot
rough slow single file road to stoke mandeville
major town (one of the largest in bucks)
of course wycombe doesnt need a substiantial hopsital or A&E......

might have known Victoria Groulef would jump on any passing bandwagon.

Perhaps she would like to apologise for her Labour government stripping the heart out of our Hospital which has put it on an inevitable path of decline.

Worst aspect is that a few months ago a health official said that centralising more services was an "improvement". Bizarre and mad... Tell that to someone who has been conveniently treated in Wycombe in recent years and now has to go out of town, miles away, and suffering pain and extra expense..
Dear deluded J Blackett here suggests Wycombe's closure! Does he need psychiatric treatment because he's come to that conclusion? Is he sane?

John you must be barmy, cannot get more south than south bucks here, major motorway on door step, for ever accidents on it, wycombe needs a full working hospital, people above have rightly wrote, single road to stoke manderville, and ambulances have to contend with that and a busy village like princes risborough, just to get to s m, can always tell a tory voter too, blaming the Labour when they are just as bad, this town needs a full time 24/7 a&e and all medical needs to a large town, It does make me think that all these people who are dealing with our hospitals, managers,directors, etc are more likely to be tory voters, and we know what that means closures and to pressure people who have no money to buy medical insurance so as there will be no NHS, tory scum snobby **** comes to mind

You are aware that it was the last Labour government that stripped our hospital bare?

I think the populous thinking was that the previous 18 years of tory government policies did the damages to hospitals and schools. The previous labour government pumped large amounts of money in, but retained the trust policies and logistics it inherited. Perhaps, not a good idea.

We have short memories and can only remember as far as the last labour government.

The debate should really rise above politics and look at making the best of the current and the longterm economic climate. NHS should not be about politics, but, quite rightly, the labour party has raised a voice to ensure the practical usefullness of the services at Wycombe Hospital.

So I am barmy am I for wanting to have the best quality and most comprehensive health care in Buckinghamshire at minimal cost? Instead of criticising each other in these comments we need to pull together, have a cast iron plan for what we need and want and if the political parties will not give us that we vote them out until someone does or alternatively we provide the facilities ourselves. After all in days gone by wealthy benefactors gave money for the provision of hospitals and people like Sir Jimmy Saville raised money for hospitals too.

The SOHS Committee is made up of representatives from each of the major three parties and this includes the MP and District Councillors. There are no party politics. Each person is there to try to make the Health authorities demonstrate that their proposals make sense and that the public is not misled.
