How Can You Register Your Concerns?

Get the document with the green front cover and the picture of the child “Shaping Hospital Services for the Future’’ which is the really important document about services together with the accompanying questionnaire by doing one of the following:

1) Phoning the Hospital on 0121 507 5940

2) E-mailing consultation@swbh.nhs.uk

3) Go to the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust website http://www.swbh.nhs.uk/ Details are currently available via the latest news link
(http://www.swbh.nhs.uk/latest_news/index.html).
Alternatively, the consultation document can be filled in online via the following direct link http://www.sunion.warwick.ac.uk/onlinesurvey/interim2010/

Your response needs to be sent back to the Hospital or completed online before 15th March 2007 (this has been extended from the previous deadline which was 16th February 2007).

Q1 No

Q2 Do not change until the new hospital is ready to open.

Q3 No

Q4 The proposals will result in a worse service for people living locally to City Hospital.
