§ Laura Moffatt (Crawley)I wish to present a petition organised by my local newspaper, the Crawley Observer, which is signed by some 4,000 of my constituents who are extremely worried about the reconfiguration of hospital services in Crawley. Residents are extremely worried that, if services are reorganised and removed from the town, it will be to the detriment of Crawley.
The petition states:
The Petition of the Crawley Observer and residents of Crawley Declares that we oppose plans to downgrade Crawley Hospital.The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Secretary of State for Health to do all in his power to ensure that Crawley Hospital retains its casualty department, maternity ward, children's ward and intensive care unit.And the petitioners remain, etc.To lie upon the Table.
