What would happen if Royal Infirmary closed?

-

I WRITE to you regarding the developmen­t at Castle Hill.

I understand that the site at Castle Hill is of significan­t importance to the local community

However, this continued issue must be provided with some final closure in order for everyone to move forward.

I am led to believe that this is currently being reviewed by The Secretary of State.

Given the level of scrutiny being placed on this applicatio­n, is it the same for similar developmen­ts or is this an isolated case?

This developmen­t appears to have experience­d intense scrutiny not just from individual­s and locals but also from profession­als commenting on its viability.

There are thousands of people around the town that are now wanting something back at Castle Hill.

I feel it imperative now to all come together and look at ways that some unity can be found in order to work collective­ly to reach the real ambition that Castle Hill, its users and the whole town so rightly deserves.

JUST a thought – if the Huddersfie­ld CCG get their own way and close the Huddersfie­ld Royal Infirmary.

What would happen in the case of the pandemic?

Calderdale would not have been able to cope with the necessary beds or life-support machines.

There are more important things to consider other than the PFI debt of Calderdale Hospital.

Just think about the chaos. about a wider range of topics, to avoid the stultifyin­g level the letters page had reached?

My next letter will be on an entirely different matter.

Perhaps Mr Charleswor­th could follow suit, and I restate my previous challenge to him – to present an interestin­g, original letter devoid of any reference to other correspond­ents. that it is ok to use the paper to vent their political hatred of another political party.

Obviously their opinion is not open to debate as their opinion is not a debatable option when you are never wrong.

May I suggest to the gentleman that he stands as a Labour party representa­tive at local level or place his name down as a parliament­ary candidate.

Or even as an Examiner columnist. But please, for heaven’s sake, give it a rest. You do yourself no service.

In fact, quite the opposite, but this will fall on deaf ears.
