This is just outrageous! The people of Wirral rely on these services as getting an appointment with the doctor is almost impossible unless you are unemployed or retired. If you shut these places down where do those people go? It will be impossible to get an appointment with the doctor then.

This is insane! People can’t get appointment or appropriate care at a gp surgery and these services are therefore essential. They will be even more needed once Wirral council has built thousands of homes on our green belt land.

These places are heaving with people who can't get an appointment with their GPS. What are the CCG thinking?!

This is a valuable service I have used several times. A single service at Arrowe Park will not cope, and just make matters worse at A&E

If this go’s ahead the public are all going to be forced to go to arrow park which is already struggling and would crumble under the thousands of extra patients that they would then have to deal with.

Our normal GP services are over run as it is. Closure of this service will put more pressure on surgeries and patients will have to wait ridiculous times for an appointment. This service is vital to our community and will also put strain it has on the A & E as people will travel for minor ailments.

How would the nhs cope without the support from Miriam health clinic. Our area would be at a loss if we lost this service. This service from Miriam health clinic would be a devastating loss to all that use' s it near and far.

The facility needs to stay open - I myself went there with a heart problem and collapsed at the reception desk, before being transferred on.

Laird Street medical nurse prescribed anti bioctics which probably save my life, I was shortly diagnosed to have SEPSIS due to a urinary infection.

There is no way Arrowe Park Hospital carparks and infrastructure would cope with the extra demand. It is mad and busy enough anyway without the extra demand. Even now there are lots of cars trying to find a space at one time!! Also people need walk in centres and hospitals near by, especially old people and the less mobile- it is hard to get there by public transport. A walk in is what it is, to be easily accessible and to be able to walk there easily!!! And I think walk ins are assets to the local towns and taking it away will ruin the health, wellbeing and feeling of community.

The Doctor walk in centre is vital to aliveate the pressure on GP appointments and to Hospitals already overcrowded out of hours and walk in centre surgerys. Closing our walk in centres would cause patient waiting times to go through the roof.

Go to Arrowe Park. It is a nightmare already. Still more revenue for the parking company?

We need LOCAL walk in centres. Not everyone has access to a car and taxis are very expensive. Arrowe Park is at bursting point already with parking nigh impossible! Find your cuts elsewhere and leave the poor, sick and infirm alone!!

Please do not close this service, it is invaluable to us - I along with others work hard all week and to know we can call in at these walk in's and know we will be seen to efficiently without having to traipse to Arrowe Park and stress out with hours long wait is worth it's wait in gold....we can not let 'them' close this service!!
