I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have supported the Save the Alex Campaign so far.

We have made a difference that has resulted in the saving of accident and emergency trauma services at the Alexandra Hospital.

However, paediatrics, maternity and gynaecology services are still at risk.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust's decision to delay any formal proposals until May or June shows it has been put under pressure to think again.

We now await the outcome of consultation concerning the re-organisation of the region's primary care trusts, strategic health authorities and ambulance trusts.

The results of this will be available in just a few weeks.

The campaign's website, www.savethealex.co.uk will be updated with information as and when news is available.

We will be investigating partnerships with other health campaign groups and planning our next protest.

For more details about the latest campaign news, please visit the website.

The trust has failed to make any press statements since January.

Be assured, however, that as and when it does, we will be ready to fight any proposed service cuts.

In the meantime, thank you once again for your continued support.

NEAL STOTE

Chairman
