Northampton Keep Our NHS Public
Northampton KONP are campaigning against cuts in services at Northampton General Hospital and against their application for Foundation Trust status. In Northampton cuts totalling more than £18 million have resulted in the closure of three operating theatres and a maternity ward, and staffing levels are being slashed. In July Northampton Healthcare Trust announced the axing of respite and rehabilitation homes, day hospitals and psychology services and the closure of learning disability units. The group has been collecting petition signatures and distributing leaflets in the town centre protesting against all these cuts in services. The response from the public has been very positive.
