Talk of the town from our social media
People were not happy about Tory MP Bill Grant backing a campaign to keep a life- saving chemotherapy unit at Ayr Hospital
Chris Hendry Wow! The man who supports cutting PIP for children with cancer wants to keep the cancer ward or does he!”
Steven Mackie John Scott - “It’s time the Health Board made their plans fully public and put them to a full consultation so the public can have their say.
“I hope that applies to all council decisions.”
Mags Kirkwood “This review is to ensure that chemotherapy services are continuously provided to a high standard by the right staff.”
“Continuous high standard of care is always provided by the Ayr staff.
Uprooting their place of work could mean extra travel time for them or re- allocation to another speciality after many years of specialist training.
“This surely also impacts on work satisfaction and quality of care.
“The unit and staff have a bond with their service users that adds to that high standard of care.” Readers think a digital t ransformation of Prestwick Main Street to form a new bold vision for the town is a bit out of date.
Jamie McCallum: “Bold move five plus years ago maybe.
“People’s own cellular connection is now faster.
“The infrastructure cost for this will be very high and it will serve no benefit I’m afraid.
“The app’s a decent idea though.”
Will Murray said: “Prestwick has 4G.
“Far quicker and safer than any public Wi- Fi system. “A waste of time and money.” Annmarie Kelly said: “Has he noticed the multiple barbershops, hairdressers and coffee shops.” Folk hope that Prestwick Airport will be chosen as the logistics hub serving Heathrow.
Jean Clark said: “Fingers crossed.”
Steven Mackie “Really hope Prestwick gets picked.” And on a lighter note, punters were delighted Sara Sutherland and her partner Greg Thomson establishment, Failford Inn, won the Dog Friendly Pub Awards.
Ca rolyn Hop e s a i d : Congratulations.
“We are always on the look out for dog friendly places. Barbara Edgar likes the place. She added: “We were in last week with Cookie.
“There were great with Cookie and felt at home.”
