BBC Calls On Hemel Residents To Call In To Radio Show!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the decision of the West Herts Hospital Trust (WHHT) to close acute services at Hemel Hempstead so that people have to use Watford, BBC 3 Counties Radio have decided to dedicate their breakfast show (Roberto Perrone, see this link for frequencies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/threecounties/have_your_say/radio.shtml) to the subject of health in Herts and Beds.

Roberto is hoping to interview David Law (CEO WHHT) at 7.45am, followed by MPs Mike Penning, David Gauke, Anne Main and Claire Ward. The producers are appealing for people to call in to the programme (08459 455555) between 8.00am and 9.00am to talk about the following points:

1.                   Why Hemel Hempstead Hospital is important to you.

2.                   Any concerns you have about health services in Herts and Beds.

The programme will then be copied onto CD and forwarded to Patricia Hewitt, along with other leading politicians, inviting them to join Roberto on a date in the near future to broadcast a programme dedicated entirely to this subject.
