NHS England is currently considering changes to Southern Hampshire Vascular Services that would see the creation of one Wessex Vascular Network. Patients would continue to receive vascular care at the hospital closest to their home but emergency or major unplanned treatments would be provided at University Hospital Southampton with a new dedicated vascular ward offering 24 hour care from a team of specialists. You can read details about the proposals here.
NHS England are hosting a public event in Gosport on Wednesday 11 May at Thorngate Hall, Bury Road, from 4:30pm to 6.30pm to discuss the proposals and give local people the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns. Details about the event can be found here.
If you have any concerns about the implications of the proposals and you are a constituent, please let me know. I can be reached via e-mail (caroline.dinenage.mp@parliament.uk) or you can write to me at 167 Stoke Road, Gosport, PO12 1SE.
