We the undersigned support the Malton and Pickering Mercury's campaign to reverse the cuts to the opening hours of Malton Hospital's Minor Injuries Unit.

The Mercury is joining Ryedale District Councillor Lindsay Burr in calling on the Primary Care Trust and  NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commission Group to reverse their decision to cut the opening hours of the unit from seven days a week to 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Further support has come from MP Anne Mcintosh, Dr Mike Lynch, the senior partner at Derwent Practice, local councillors and members of the public.

The move, which will be reviewed in March, has led to fears over further cuts at the hospital.

Please add your voice to the campaign.

Thank you,

Andrew Pitt
