I HAD to go to the A&E department at Leighton Hospital recently.
A round journey of some 25 miles and a taxi costs £40 both ways.
I wondered whether people from Northwich and surrounding villages could have their own A&E department at the Victoria Infirmary?
By their very nature A&E departments tend to work later in the day and night trips are especially difficult for elderly people.
All the facilities are there in terms of rooms, parking etc - all that's missing are the doctors and nurses to run it.I'm probably asking for the moon but pre-election is usually the best time to ask.
