Local residents across Salford are still disgusted with the Labour Government for their decision to close the valued maternity and neo-natal units at Salford Royal Hospital.
They were equally appalled at the weasel words of our local Labour MPs – particularly Hazel Blears, who claimed to oppose the closure whilst being a member of the Cabinet that had approved the decision.
According to this week’s Advertiser, Hazel is campaigning for a midwife-led facility at Salford Royal. The sheer cheek of it! Hazel helped to sign our Maternity Unit’s death warrant and now she expects us to give her credit for campaigning for a much smaller unit to replace it. The people of Salford are much smarter than you give them credit for, Hazel.
This Labour Government voted to close our maternity unit – and all three Salford Labour MPs voted against Conservative proposals to call a halt to the maternity unit closures. Conservative plans for the NHS will give local residents much more say over the services we received locally - our maternity services in Salford are only safe under the Conservatives.
