I READ in the Redditch Advertiser an article about how accident and emergency struggles with patient surges at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

I am concerned that this might make the local committee, still undecided, to come to a final decision.

I hope our MP, Karen Lumley, will take notice of this newspaper item.

I know Mrs Lumley has been involved in meeting the committee of the Alexandra Hospital but it would appear they have not taken much notice of her.

The people of Redditch will, I am sure, bear in mind the final result of the Alex committee decision – it would be of great advantage to her if the decision concluded that the A&E and emergency and baby departments remain in Redditch.

To me, the obvious conclusion is the Birmingham Hospital Group being the correct one.
