Leicester General Under Threat of Closure. Public Rally
City Hall, Leicester
Leicester
URGENT PUBLIC RALLY
University hospitals of Leicester (UHL) want to close the General as an acute hospital and concentrate their services onto two sites only (the Royal Infirmary and the Glenfield). These plans have been devised with no public consultation whatsoever.
UHL are planning to move the Intensive Treatment Unit out of the General, which will make it very difficult to keep other services there. Effectively they are moving from three to two hospitals by stealth and without public consultation.
On Thursday August 23, the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Commission will be meeting at Leicester City Hall at 5:30. We will be holding a lobby outside, beginning at 4:45, to highlight the threat to the General and with the aim of gaining the Commission's support for a genuine consultation and ultimately the rejection of this plan.
