Rejected petition: Northampton Needs an Expanded, Better Funded and Better Resourced Hospital.
Rejected on
Northampton, one of the largest and fastest growing towns in the UK, is vastly underserviced when it comes to hospital care in regard to waiting times, A and E volume and safety of patient care. As more and more houses are built, the situation becomes more acute. Northampton needs and deserves more.
This campaign asks for more resources, money and staffing for Northampton's Hospital. The town is growing at an exponential rate: new roads, new houses, new residents but not enough facilities. Fight for the town for the benefit of our population. You never know when you or your loved ones will need it.
