| Acton police station is to remain open and that is in Ealing borough. You may not like the plans for the NHS in the area but across the nation similar hard choices are having to be made. Demand for NHS services are rising at 4% per annum due to the aging population and this pressure on resources is going to continue. More money is being spent by Government but they are not really keeping pace with demand so service quality is under pressure. The question you need to consider is do you think that the existing facilities need to be subject to some sort of preservation order and protected from closure or do you think that NHS management should have the discretion working within a fixed budget to decide how their resources should be allocated even if it means closing certain units to invest elsewhere? |
