They are doing this all over the country.
These A&E closures and downgrades to first aid centres, busy roads (especially at peak time), coupled with the increased travelling times have made this issue literally a matter of life and death.
People
will needlessly die in the back of ambulances.
Even those who use private facilities should remember that they need the NHS for A&E services.

Exactly.
