The Special Care Baby Unit at Whiston Hospital on merseyside has recently been subject to temporary closure due to a shortage of staff. We demand that the government of the UK protect the unit from any closures related to staff shortage or spending cuts. The parents and children of Whiston, Prescot, St Helens, Huyton and other areas served by the hospital are entitled to a fully functional Special Care Baby Unit 24 hours a day 7 days a week regardless of cuts to public spending.

This is ridiculous. People rely on Whiston for life saving care. Stop cutting corners with our health service.

Disgraceful. These cuts are going to cost lives. Look after the vulnerable ones first for a change.

KEEP IT OPEN. So many babies need this unit. dont let them close it just to save a few quid.

Fix the staff shortages instead of closing wards. Proper management is clearly what is lacking here.

My nephew was in that unit after being born early. The staff were absolute angels. You cant just shut down a service like this its a lifeline for so many families in the area.

My little girl spent 3 weeks in there. If that ward wasnt there I dont know what we would have done. Hands off our hospital.
