Rt Hon John Hutton MP
Secretary of State for Defence
Dear Mr Hutton
I am writing to urge you to hand over management of the Haslar Hospital site to Gosport Borough Council AS SOON AS the hospital closes as a military hospital in July.
Gosport Borough Council has the support of local businesses to take on the site after the hospital’s closure and redevelop it in order to retain a 250-bed treatment centre, a medical centre with clinics, and facilities for medical research and training.
I am concerned that any delay in handing over the site will mean a deterioration of the hospital’s equipment and facilities, making it impossible to keep beds and health services open.
I therefore urge you in the strongest possible terms to ensure a speedy handover.
Yours sincerely
Thank you for signing this petition. Gosport Liberal Democrats are fighting to keep the medical services Gosport people need. We believe this proposal will help keep Haslar viable in the long term.
PLEASE ASK AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO SIGN THIS PETITION. We may have just ONE last chance to Save Haslar.
Thank you again for your support.
Gosport Liberal Democrats
