It been brought to my attention by a workmate who is running a 10k to raise funds to help save a ward that the Leeds General Infirmary,



he gave me the information to go to the site where there is a petition to object to the closure.



here's what it says



As a result of the NHS's review of pediatric heart surgery provision across the country, the Children's Heart Surgery Unit at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds is at risk.



The unit provides specialist surgery and care to children from all over Yorkshire and the Humber, Lincolnshire and North Derbyshire. If it closed, hundreds of children who require life-saving surgery each year would have to travel long distances, possibly hundreds of miles to another facility. This could put their lives in greater jeopardy.



It would also cause severe distress for the patients and their families, and would see the end of a great team of specialist surgeons and experienced nurses, who have worked so hard to provide unrivaled service and care.



We believe closing this unit would affect not only the hundreds of families who rely on it each year, but everyone in the region who believes Yorkshire should retain its essential healthcare services.



Its getting beyond a joke that wards are closed because of funding and to target a children's ward is beggars belief.



As Wakefield fans we know only to dearly the loss of two players to heart conditions and I feel that this does need addressing, there has been up to 35k registered it costs nothing to protest if you feel strongly enough.
