Rejected petition Don't close the Darlington and North Tees A&Es.

As you already know, the Government has created a list of possible A&E closures/downgrades. Among this list were the A&Es in Darlington and Stockton-On-Tees. With the closure of these A&Es, there would be a massive influx of patients on the A&E in James Cook (Middlesbrough). We cannot allow this.

The A&E in Hartlepool has already been closed, so James Cook would have a possible influx of patients from both Stockton-On-Tees and Darlington. Our A&Es are under enough strain as it is, don't allow this problem to become worse by closing down/downgrading these to A&Es as well.
