Rally over Alexandra Hospital changes takes place in Redditch
A rally and march took place in Redditch today against proposals which protesters say could see the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch closed or face losing services like A&E and maternity.
Around 500 members of the ‘Save the Alex’ campaign have marched from the Town Hall in protest.
NHS Worcestershire has published six options to save £50 million and reduce its estimated £200 million deficit, which could involve reducing services at several sites in the county.
Chairman of Save the Alex, Neil Stote, says: "a line by line review needs to be made before they make a decision."
