When are the CCG’s , NHS England and the Worcester Hospital Trust going to admit the University of Birmingham Hospital Trust’s option for the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch was never going to be looked at, as it would take money away from paying towards an expensive white elephant that was built in Worcester.

In my opinion, no thought went into parking or transport routes when it was designed on the back of an envelope at a drinks party by what my grandfather would have called “people educated to stupidity level, with no common sense”.

With the announcement of a shopping complex being built next to the Worcester Hospital, this is only going to increase traffic congestion, which will result in longer waiting times for ambulances and therefore an increase in deaths.

It’s time for the Trust to see the residents of Redditch as people and patients rather than a cash cow to support the Royal Worcester Hospital.
