18:056298seems a lot of money being spent on a village hospital, can't call it a proper hospital, 20 beds, the authorities are having a laugh, Dover needs a proper hospital, fully functioning hospital

19:026302We are all 'well informed' Sue. As soon as they began the farce of a 'public consultation' every question and statement issued told us what they were going to do, cut services and move them all to a 'central Dover location'. The only thing they did not say was where, and even that was obvious from various comments at some of their so called public meetings. All they are doing is running down Buckland and then shoving whats left in with the health centre hoping people will not notice that they are getting less care not more. The whole process has been a stitch-up from beginning to end and, once again, the people of Dover will suffer for it in poorer services, more traffic problems and another facility that will slowly encroach on whats left of our town centre.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

15:036320Sorry Sheila
No beds and only open during the day. No parking - demolish two buildings to provide a car park two roads away - overspill in street. DDC planners say people should use public transport or walk!!!
Age concern and the Bowls club obviously will lose out - Sue I understand you are chairman of Age Concern - what do they think of it all - will they walk there in future? You obviously are giving them the inside news.....
Chris is so right.

15:336322Hear hear, Chris. Dover people and Dover the town ignored and then shafted from all directions as usual.
Outrageous.

15:386324Thanks David, misunderstood, it still remains though we are being brushed aside as usual, I think the authorities wish Dover would disappear into the sea, and then they would have to provide nothing

15:386325It is the same "self appointed", self serving "elite" that are failing the people of Dover again

16:486331Heard today that the big so-called 'improvement' will be an X-ray department with an internet connection so that the resulting pictures can be sent straight on to whichever hospital you are going to end up in. So now we know, the whole development is the PCT's way of getting people out of Dover more efficiently.

22:306353Whatever we get will not be enough. Over the past three years I have visited all three acute hospitals in east Kent as a "customer". On one occasion I spent 24 hours on a trolley in the Kent and Canterbury with ecg electrodes stuck firmly to my chest and ankles.
The three hospitals we have are understaffed, inadequate and engulfed with patients. This area needs a 4th. I don't really care where it is, but Dover does seem a logical geographic choice.
As ever, are being shortchanged.
