What does the future hold for in-patients?
12:30pm Sunday 7th February 2010
A FEW years ago the authorities announced that the in-patient accommodation at Victoria Infirmary was to be closed.
There was widespread protest, which led eventually to a plan to replace the in-patients in a new building on a central site in Northwich.
That plan would have meant some changes for existing Northwich GP surgeries.
Does the front page of the January 20 edition of the Guardian, which was entitled: ‘Health chiefs face an uphill struggle’, imply that the in-patients’ future is to be betrayed?

Do any of these people actually know their MP?
I have been a teacher of Politics for the last 35 years. In that time I have worked with MPs from all major parties in various parts of the UK. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Mike Hall is the best constituency MP I have come across in all of that time.
The annual trip to Parliament has become “the best school trip ever!” according to many of my A level Politics students and it is entirely down to the efforts Mike has made on our behalf. He goes way beyond the norm in setting up a good day for us, giving generously of his own time to question and answer sessions and pulling out all the stops to obtain difficult to get tickets for occasions such as Budget Day and the Iraq debate.
He has enthused our young people about Politics and a number of them have had work experience both at Westminster and in the Frodsham office. As a result many have gone on to study the subject at university and we have former students now working in Westminster, interning in Washington and working for a political journal.
We were looking forward to seeing him in a three way Question Time Forum with the other Weaver Vale candidates in March, but that may now have to be cancelled due to his illness.
We would like to send him our very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery and can only hope that we will be as well served by the next MP.
