The proposal is to co‑locate adult and children’s A&E at a single hospital site at Southport Hospital as a combined adult and children's A&E, removing A&E provisions for Ormskirk Hospital and West Lancashire.\r\nThe decision of the ICB flows directly from early design choices which shaped the range of options that were realistically available before public consultation began. No option of having A&E provisions at both sites.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-03-16T15:26:13.086Z","updated_at":"2026-04-14T12:18:48.065Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-14T12:18:46.359Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-16T15:40:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
