Following last Friday’s huge public meeting, Seaton Hospital campaigners are taking their demand to save the threatened wing to the Devon Health & Adult Care Scrutiny Committee at 10.30 this Thursday, where they will hold a joint protest with campaigners for Teignmouth Hospital. Recommendations from a Task Group on the Teignmouth closure, including a proposal to refer it to the Secretary of State, will be before the Committee, and the Seaton closure has been added to the agenda. 

Campaigners from both towns will address the Committee. They include Martin Shaw and Jack Rowland (both of the newly formed Seaton Hospital Steering Committee), and Cllr Chris Clarance (Chair of Teignbridge District Council) and Viv Wilson for Teignbridge.

• There will be a SEATON / TEIGNMOUTH: SAVE DEVON’S COMMUNITY HOSPITALS protest outside County Hall from 9.30 to 10.15, when campaigners will go into the public gallery.
