SOHS North Devon Save Our Hospital Services

Plans to close North Devon Hospital Services

Health services in North Devon are threatened with closure. These could include but are not limited to:

Accident and emergency
Maternity
Stroke unit
Consultancy services
Care for the elderly

In addition hospitals in the area might be scaled down or closed. This is not just happening locally, but also nationally.

What does this mean to me?

It could mean that you would have to travel to Exeter or Taunton to get treatment. For many this is a journey of over 50 miles. And if you do not have a car, you will probably have to rely on public transport, and you know how difficult that is.

If you are unfortunate enough to have to become in in-patient, then it will be more difficult and expensive for your family to visit.

It is time to protest

Don't leave this campaign to others. Your support is vital. Let's join together and draw attention to what is happening.

Join in local activities. Details will be found on the news pages and circulated to the mailing list. The more people that join in, the more effective the campaign.

Offer some time to the campaign. We need people to deliver leaflets, man stalls, steward events, carry placcards, write articles, take photographs, act in street drama and a whole host of other activities. Let us know you are willing to help by emailing here.
Help with finance. We have to raise any needed funds, and fundraising activities can take time and divert attention from the main campaign. Can you give a small amount to help? (Paypal donation link coming soon)
Display banners and posters. Small posters will be distributed and also available on this site for downloading. However if you have a site for a larger poster or banner, then please contact us here.
Volunteer as a local contact. We want a number of sites in each community which can have available materials, newsletters and posters. Ideally this might be a shop, community centre, or public place, but may also be a house if you are well-known in your community. Tell us what you can offer.
