LETTER OF THE DAY: Gosport needs it's own A&E Unit
We used to have a hospital until it was shut down, a bad mistake.
If it was needed then, it is needed now.
The NHS, and the whole welfare state, was created by a Labour Government directly after the Second World War.

Caroline Dinenage MP immediately wrote off the idea but as our MP and as a health minister she should be supporting it, or at least offering her own solutions (New hospital could be ‘a quicker solution’ for emergencies say Labour - but MP rubbishes idea).
That she will not simply shows the lack of political will and imagination in this joke of a government.
Henry David Thoreau famously wrote: ‘In the long run men only hit what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.’

The people of Gosport, and of this nation, deserve - and demand - so much more.
