After more than 48 hours of pressure on the Conservative MP to set a public position on the cuts to NHS blood services in Rochester we have had a response.
This blog has once again been leading the charge locally and will be backing petitions to safeguard this resource.
I do think however a postponement of the cuts is not really an acceptable position but will be backing all attempts to safeguard the facility, and we will also be working on a petition to fully oppose the cuts to the services. We have been taking this petition to residents doorstep this morning.
The online petition does not include a post code or address option so effectively makes submitting this to the Council difficult. Someone should have advised the independent petitioners this.
The Labour petition which is being met with a positive response on the doorstep will have weight in the Council chamber because it will give address and postcode details
It is a welcome sign that Tories locally are now engaging with this issue because we all need to fight to win to keep this resource for the community.
Cllr's Teresa Murray and Nick Bowler met with dozens of residents this morning on a roaving surgery and we had dozens of signatures from residents in the surrounding area of the clinics being threatened
