The news arrived this morning that the plans to close our hospice have been withdrawn. I am honestly stunned by this outcome and I know it only happened because you all refused to look away. Please take a moment to be proud of yourselves because this belongs entirely to you.

We, the undersigned, believe that the decision to close the hospice in South Bristol with the loss of ten beds in September will result in many terminally ill people being denied a specialist in-patient pain relief service and being left to die on busy hospital wards. We cannot understand why there has been no emergency appeal to save this essential service. We call upon St Peter's Hospice, Bristol Primary Care Trust and United Bristol Hospital Trust to consult the people of South Bristol about these plans and to work together to ensure that a full hospice service remains available in South Bristol. __________________________________________________________ If you are signing this petition, please consider contacting us to help with this campaign.Save Our Hospice, 15 Addison Rd, Victoria Park, Bristol BS3 4QH.
