Petition text
Our walk-in centre handles more than 40,000 appointments a year. The proposed reduction to weekday-only opening would push weekend patients into an A&E department that is already the most overcrowded in the region. We are asking NHS England to publish the impact assessment behind this decision and to keep seven-day opening in place until a genuine alternative is running. Signing this petition tells commissioners that the people who actually use this service were never consulted.
