IT will be a disaster for Redditch and its surrounding communities if the swingeing cuts suggested are made to the present services available at the Alexandra Hospital.

Redditch alone is a town with a rising population due to the number of new homes being built.

Many lives will inevitably be lost if these cuts go ahead and the Worcestershire Royal Hospital is not nearly large enough to cope with thousands more patients.

It is my understanding there are only two ambulances and one ambulance car to cover the whole area of Redditch and its surrounding districts.

The Alex must be saved at all costs.
