Cllr Andrew Cooper with Green Party Leader Natalie Bennett

Green Party Leader Natalie Bennett will be joining protestors from the Hands Off HRI campaign in the key Public Meeting organised by the Joint Clinical Commissioning Groups at the John Smith’s Stadium on Monday evening. The meeting with focus on proposals to abolish Accident and Emergency and Acute services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary

Green Party Councillor Andrew Cooper who invited Natalie said,

“We need to get all Political leaders to back the campaign to save Accident and Emergency Services at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. I’ve seen support expressed on social media from the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn and Lib Dem Leader  Tim Farron.  All we need now is for Conservative Party Leader David Cameron to back the campaign and we are ‘home and dry’!”

Natalie Bennett said

“ It is inconceivable that a large town the size of Huddersfield should be left without its own Accident and Emergency Department. This is part of a picture of underfunding of the NHS that I am seeing up and down the country. I am pleased to lend my support to this inspirational community-led campaign.”

Natalie will be gathering with protestors at St Georges Square from 5.00pm and then head down to the Stadium
