Conservative MP Secures Good Hope Public Meeting for Tamworth

Tamworth’s Conservative MP, Christopher Pincher, has secured a public consultation meeting for local residents concerned at changes to services at Good Hope hospital.

The meeting will take place on Friday 24th October at the Holiday Inn Express, Leisure Island, River Drive, Tamworth, B79 7ND.

Mr Pincher wrote to Dr Mark Newbold, CEO of the Heart of England Trust, asking him to hold at least one of their consultation meetings closer to Tamworth so local residents can more easily attend to have their say. Mr Pincher believes that any changes to improve the expertise of services at Good Hope and other Birmingham hospitals must not adversely impact users from Tamworth.

Mr Pincher said, “I am pleased that has listened to local people and has agreed to hold further consultation meetings and listen to Tamworth residents. Indeed, he has already written to The Herald giving notice of the event so that more people know about the session to be held in Tamworth.

“I will submit my own feedback on the Trust’s proposals so they are left in no doubt about what I want to see for my constituents. I look forward to the time of the meeting being finalised and advertised widely as soon as possible.”

The timing of the meeting is being finalised and the event will be properly advertised as soon as possible.
