Letters to the editor this week: Broken promises and quality GP care
Letters to the editor this week: Broken promises and quality GP care
It has never been easier to write letters to newspapers in this era of email. As such, we urge all our supporters to get their voices heard this way and via the comments sections on newspaper websites. Get involved in the discussions!
This week, there are a couple of good letters in the local newspapers that deserve to be shared widely. David Murray, a great campaigner for our local hospitals, has challenged MPs, Paul Scully (Conservative, Sutton and Cheam) and Tom Brake (Liberal-Democrat, Carshalton and Wallington), on the broken promise about the £219 million upgrade for St Helier Hospital.

Another good letter was written by P. Hibberd of Carshalton reminding us that we are fortunate to have access to good GP services in our local area. The writer is a patient at the Beeches Surgery, which fell short in a quality inspection.
