Hands Off Bronllys Hospital Again!

So says the flyer that has appeared around Hay in the past few days. It has a comprehensive breakdown of why the Bronllys Stroke Unit must not be closed or moved, why Brecon Hospital is unsuitable for a stroke unit and why the Health Board consultation is invalid.
Boiled down to the essentials, the arguments are basically these:
The present stroke unit works very well where it is, and the new unit would not have the same number of beds - also the parking at Brecon is inadequate. The Health Board have failed to consult the public in good time, instead presenting a fait accompli.
They suggest sending personal letters in support of Bronllys Hospital to:
South East Powys Consultation, Planning Dept., PTHB, Mansion House, Bronllys Hospital, LD3 0LS
There is also a petition - No to Asset Stripping - at www.bit.ly/FocusOnBronllys, which will be running until the 28th November.
