PETITION, Sign to Restore Our Healthcare
Save Ellen Badger Hospital: Preserve In-Patient Care for Our Community
The regulations for any petition to the House of Commons dictate that signatures must be hand-signed, and digital signatures are not allowed. We have signature boards located at the establishments listed above.
Your voice matters! By signing our petition, you’re advocating for the vital restoration of in-patient facilities in our hospital. This petition will be presented to the House of Commons by MP Manuela Perteghella, making your support crucial in urging the government to reverse this decision.
Please help us gather local support. Sign our petition at various participating businesses throughout Shipston and the surrounding areas. Together, we can ensure that our community continues to have access to the healthcare it deserves. Thank you for your support!
To the House of Commons.
The petition of residents of Shipston-on-Stour and surrounding villages.
Declares that the Ellen Badger Hospital in the town of Shipston-on-Stour has a strong tradition of care for generations of local residents, and there is huge public upset, and disappointment, at the recommendations to remove the in-patient ward; Further, that the Community Hospital with inpatient beds provide important integrated health care facilities, as well as employment opportunities to the local community; and further, that the provision of a comprehensive healthcare facility with in-patient beds close to home is essential for our rural communities.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to support the retainment of the in-patient beds for the Ellen Badger Community Hospital in Shipston on Stour.
Sincere thanks to all those businesses supporting our campaign and to everyone who has taken the time to sign the petition!
