CARES archive: Formby's Protest against NHS cuts - 11 Oct. 2003














Fortunately, the weather held out and a successful protest march ensued. Mums, dads, grannies and granddads all came out with their children to show the NHS Trust that we have NOT gone away.

Following the CARES-organised demonstration CARES members raised awareness that the NHS move would affect Formby residents as much or even more than Southport people because of the greater distance involved to travel to Ormskirk Hospital.

Concern was expressed that narrow, short-cut tracks across the moss would not be suitable for ambulances in winter/wet conditions putting greater risk on children's lives in emergency situations.
