TO MEET THE HEALTH CHIEF


THE Ribble Valley Council is delaying further action over run-down plans for Calderstones an d Brockhall hospitals — until councillors have a meeting with North Western Region­ al Health Authority chairman Sir John 1 age.


The meeting with


the health chief, to take place in the near future, will enable outraged local council­ lors to put their argu­ ments to Sir John for the run down of both


I h o sp i ta ls by the ! Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley


Health Authority. Sir John has agreed to


a meeting with concerned councillors at the request of the leader of the Ribble Valiev Council, Coun. Mrs Sheila Maw, of Whalle.v. The North Western Re­


gional Health Authority recently decided that both Ribble" Valley hospitals should be run-down by Burnley, Pendle and Ros-


future management prop­


osals.” The Ribble Valley


Council wrote to the three MPs representing the Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley areas, asking for help in the matter. Ribble Valley MP Mr David Waddington, in a


letter, asked whether all possible compromises had been investigated and whether there was any possibility of the council being represented on the Burnley authority. Mr Waddington thought


that there ought to be a sensible solution to the problem.

Straw and Hyndburn MP Mr Ken Hargreaves have written to Sir John, ex­ pressing their regret and surprise at the decision of the RHA and demanding an explanation for the


choice. At a full meeting of the


sion. the Blackburn, Hvndburn and Ribble Valiev Health Authority withdrew its support for the co-ordinated run-down of the hospitals "until such a time as the Reg­ ional Health Authority de­ monstrates a rational and logical approach to the


Ribble Valley Council on Tuesday night, councillors also backed Coun. Bill Fleming’s proposal that, if nothing comes of the dis­ cussion with Sir John, the matter should be taken to the top — with a letter to the Prime Minister, seek­ ing Mrs Thatcher's sup­ port and intervention
