Labour Shadow Health Minister brands Alex changes chaotic during public meetingRebecca Blake brought Shadow Health Minster Jamie Reed MP to Redditch to listen to local people's concerns on the future of the Alex.
Labour's Rebecca Blake and Jamie Reed MP were on the panel in a public meeting with Ian Dipple from the Save the Alex campaign.
Labour's Parliamentary candidate for Redditch, Rebecca Blake said "I brought Jamie Reed to Redditch to understand how the Tory-led Government's £3.4 billion reorganisation is affecting people in Redditch.
"These unnecessary delays about whether A&E and Maternity services will remain at Redditch are putting existing services in jeopardy, let alone future services.
"The Conservative Government Minister snubbed residents a few weeks ago. He should have listened to local people. Trying to keep the problems at arms' length, saying it's nothing to do with us, is simply not good enough.
Labour's Jamie Reed spent an hour taking questions from people, then stayed on afterwards to hear people's individual concerns. The Shadow Health Minster, Jamie Reed MP said "Around the country I am seeing the consequences of an ill thought through, un-mandated reconfiguration of the NHS.
"The situation in Redditch is in chaos and is a recipe for disaster.
"Evidence suggests it’s not safe to take A&E out of a town like Redditch, at a time of rising admissions.
"Government Ministers must take responsibility."
