Rejected petition Ensure that the Accident and Emergency in Burton on Trent remains open

There have been moves to close the critical accident and emergency department at Burton on Trent. This department is vital and to close it would add additional pressure on Derby and Stoke who are already overstretched and add additional response time for critically ill patients.
