Artifact Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well whatever the number of missiles fired be it 2 or 100, at £1,000,000 pound a time. I think my point is proven that the cardiac units could be kept open at a fraction of the cost of running a war Indeed it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan22 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 As a result of the NHS's review of paediatric heart surgery provision across the country, the Children's Heart Surgery Unit at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds is at risk. The unit provides specialist surgery and care to children from all over Yorkshire and the Humber, Lincolnshire and North Derbyshire. If it closed, hundreds of children who require life-saving surgery each year would have to travel long distances, possibly hundreds of miles to another facility. This could put their lives in greater jeopardy. It would also cause severe distress for the patients and their families, and would see the end opf a great team of spcialist surgeons and experienced nurses, who have worked so hard to provide unrivalled service and care. We believe closing this unit would affect not only the hundreds of families who rely on it each year, but everyone in the region who believes Yorkshire should retain its essential healthcare services. The Childrens Heart Surgery Unit MUST remain open. If you agree, please sign this petition which can be found at thepetitionsite dot com. Apologies but I cannot post links yet! Once on the site if you type in the search bar LGI, the link to the petition page will appear at the top of the list. Thank you! Surely the petition relies on the presumption that the Tory’s: A)Give a toss about the NHS B) That they give a toss about our opinions regarding A) Both of which I seriously doubt.

Pinksarah889 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 As someone who was operated on 13 years ago in Leeds I know what an amazing job they do. Doctors in sheffield didn't know what was wrong so I was sent to Leeds. Staff at Leeds were great, made me feel settled and welcome. Without them I may not be here today, I am very grateful. This facility should be available to other children and parents. How can they close such a vital place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
