NOW that the people of Redditch and also the country have voted the Conservatives into overall majority the death knell of the Alexandra Hospital is sounding.
All of the hard work of the ‘Save The Alex’ campaign will now be for nothing.
The anonymous people behind the irrational thinking and the longawaited report on the future of the Alex will rush out their findings/ decisions within weeks if not days.
The contrived silence will become a steady stream of closure announcements – the upshot of which will put the hospital’s existence in jeopardy. It is not the VE Day bell that is tolling.
