Rejected petition Start back the A&E facility for St Cross hospital Rugby with Ambulance unit

At present for the Rugby town our nearest A&E and urgent care child unit are in Coventry. The town is expanding with around 7000 new houses in the next 5years and we need good medical facilities. Callout here is to utilise the available space and facility for A&E with ambulance facility at St Cross

More details

This is a basic requirement and the funding has to come from the Government to improve the facility for the people of Rugby and surroundings. There have been many people who have lost the lives of their dear and near due to the lack of local ambulance services and also the A&E facility. We should target for no more loss of precious lives and to achieve the same government has to step in to see the situation and help the local community in Rugby
