Campaigners 'welcome decision to delay decision' on relocating heart attack response
The move was due to be discussed in May's NHS board meeting and is now expected at July's
Torbay's MP says it's right the NHS has delayed a decision on relocating life-saving heart attack treatments from the hospital there to Exeter.
Steve Darling says it was due to be talked about last week, but will now be discussed in July and he's started a petition against the changes
Former Torbay MP Kevin Foster said: “Having buried details on page 255 of a 405-page document, the proposed 20-minute discussion was a disrespectful and dismissive way to treat such a serious issue for our bay. Yet the announcement from NHS Devon is only a delay in considering the proposal, not a decision to abandon it, so the pressure must be kept up.”
The NHS has previously told us that no final decision has yet been made
