Jody and campaigners
The 16th August 2021 marks 5 years on from the "temporary" overnight closure of our Grantham Hospital Accident & Emergency Service.
So much has happened but not much has changed.
We have organised protests, gatherings, and submitted questions and sent countless emails including handing in a Petition to No 10 Downing Street. We have continued to have great coverage in the media, of our local issues and still we are no further on. As we solemnly mark another anniversary, Fighting 4 Grantham Hospital is committed to keep fighting for our local community. We have made it abundantly clear, consistently for 5 years, that we want it reinstating to the 2016 services, including our 24hr A&E! We still await the Acute Service Review which will go out for public consultation allowing us to give our views on a future health service for Grantham and surrounding District. As a return to a 24/7 A&E service is unlikely to be an option in the public consultation, from the Healthy Conversations events, we will continue to push for a larger, new build hospital that can meet the needs of future generations, for decades to come especially for an expanding population. We want to thank everybody for their continued support, its an amazing achievement to still be such a large group, after all this time. It just shows the passion and determination of the people of Grantham. Together we continue to fight 4 Grantham Hospital. Jody ClarkFighting 4 Grantham Hospital
