Rejected petition Extend Andover Memorial hospital opening hours to 24hrs

Andover memorial hospital accident and emergency department should be open longer than office hours

More details

The nearest accident and emergency department is 17 miles away which is unacceptable for an area as large as ours.
This puts pressure on the emergency services for people with no transport or for problems out of hours
It also puts a huge amount of pressure on Winchester hospital
