Huddersfield set to lose A&E department
A campaign has been launched to try to save the Accident and Emergency Unit at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
Westminster debate over A and E closure plans
There will be a debate in Parliament today about the future of Accident and Emergency services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
It was announced last month that the A and E department in the town would close in favour of keeping emergency care at Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax.
The debate was secured by the Colne Valley MP Jason McCartney who says the proposal to close the Huddersfield department is completely the wrong decision and needs overturning.
The actor Sir Patrick Stewart has also voiced his support for the campaign to save the unit. The Mirfield born star says the closure would be a "grave mistake."
