We need to keep our walk in services open. They do a brilliant job,Arrow Park is a good hospital but it can't take anymore pressure on A+E

This is a vital service across the Wirral and must not be lost. Folk are just getting used to the way it works. More centralisation will make this very difficult for people without transport and that means a very large number of local people.

I am strongly against the closure of these vital services.

The closure will cause problems for older people who haven't got transport or facilities to go to aph

They take the pressure off GP's and hospitals and are a vital, much used service. Please keep them open.

I am appalled to think you are trying to close the MIU literally round the corner from me. As a pensioner I would find it very difficult to attend Arrowe Park. I probably just wouldn't go there whatever my health problem.

totally agree the proposal to close Wirral NHS walk in facilities should be withdrawn immediately

This service obviously takes pressure off A&E they must be thick if they think otherwise. The idiots who make these decisions probably all have private healthcare and don’t live in the real world.

Closure of our walkin services would cause major suffering to the community who need and use this service. Travelling to one designated centre that's not close for a lot of people without transport or the means to afford public transport in an emergency will cause untold hardship

The facility at Eastham is excellent and well used. We have already experienced a with drawl of this service to assist with the failure of Arrow Park A&E to cope with their increase in patients. Fortunately this has been resolved and the service at Eastham has now resumed. We do NOT wish any reduction in the present services available at Eastham. My wife and I have used this facility many times and find the staff very efficient, extremely helpful and reassuring.

This is a disgrace when we have an excellent service in wallasey and why move to somewhere that is already busy and takes so long to be seen

If VCH or any of our local pop in centres were to close it would put even MORE strain on our already limited resources at Arrowe Park hospitals A & E DEPT.

Is there no end to the lies my organisation is prepared to go to make their case. Phlebotomy, Physiotherapy and Extended GP access is not what the people of Wirral are losing as they are not part of Minor Injury or Walk in centres. Just because they are delivered from same building they can’t club them together and fool the people. I am ashamed of what is going on and I know there are many in the CCG who do not agree with what is happening. People too scared to speak and just counting towards retirement. Absolutely disgraceful.
