Sir, – Again it is very sad to read (D&S Sept 19) that this Government is interfering and wanting to cancel the necessary GP surgeries and medical services that they provide so efficiently up and down the Dales, which they have done for 100 years.
Dales people, especially the elderly, and others too, need these life-saving medical facilities.
Areas like Carperby and Preston- under-Scar mentioned in the D&S report are apt examples of the communities who really need these important services – services such as surgeries with their qualified nursing staff, drug deliveries and out-of-hours support.
Our Government should think again.
ROLAND BRAMHAM Willow Crescent, Richmond.
