Trust Response to Question on Seriously Injured Patients Inadequate

Who is the Trust kidding? In this article in the Birmingham Mail 8th Jan. a Trust spokeswoman states:

"a surgeon would be on standby for City A&E who could be called in if anyone walked in needing immediate surgery"

How many patients who have been shot or knifed or have surgical emergencies are able to walk in?? Do these people live in the real world? We have one of the most experienced teams at dealing with surgically ill emergencies in the country at the moment. Having it downgraded will not improve the service to our patients.
