Local Health bosses have decided that Maternity at Maidstone Hospital is to be ‘downgraded’ to a midwife led facility.  Full ‘consultant led’ maternity will soon only be available at Pembury Hospital.  It is my belief, and that of the Liberal Democrat councillors on Maidstone Borough Council, that this decision is NOT want local people want.  Furthermore, we believe that all the evidence says that this is the WRONG decision.

 

Maidstone is the County town of Kent and needs a full range of services at its hospital.  As a result of this decision, Maidstone will retain a Midwife Lead facility.  We fully value the role that Midwives play in the NHS.  However, our argument is that Maidstone needs the full CONSULTANT LED maternity facility.

 

As a result, I am determined to fight this decision.  I have consulted with campaigners in other parts of the country who have had similar decisions in their areas overturned.  If you share my view, that Maidstone Hospital should have a full Maternity Service, I need you to do 2 things.

 

Please sign the petition to save our consultant led maternity unit at Maidstone Hospital.

I/We call on the Government to save the Consultant-led Maternity Unit at Maidstone Hospital.
