Health professionals have recently completed a review of local services. These are the five options they have put forward for public discussion before the health professionals make a decision:
1. No change
2. A ‘major’ A&E at Huddersfield, minor injury/urgent care centres at both Halifax and Todmorden and Planned Care at Calderdale Royal
3. A ‘major’ A&E at Halifax, minor injury/urgent care centres at both Huddersfield and Todmorden and Planned Care at Huddersfield Royal
4. One or two major A&Es in West Yorkshire, backed up by a number of minor facilities
5. If none of these – what?
None of these options suggest a complete closure of Halifax A&E - it is in fact a much more complex issue that needs an open, sensible debate.

Keep our A&E open. People in Halifax rely on this unit and travel times to other hospitals are already way too long in bad traffic.
It takes forever to get to Huddersfield as it is. Imagine doing that in an ambulance during rush hour. madness.
my kids have had to go there way too many times. we need it right here in halifax not miles away.
HALIFAX NEEDS TO KEEP ITS OWN SERVICES. stop trying to cut corners with peoples health!
Too many people live round here to have restricted care. Dont touch our A&E.

Ridiculous even thinking about moving services away. We need local access for emergencies plain and simple.
