Public Consultation Launched

Heather Barrow, Chairman of the North West Anglia Community Health Council formally launched the public consultation period for the Greater Peterborough Health Investment Plan at a press conference this morning. 

Mrs Barrow said, "We are giving the people of greater Peterborough an opportunity to influence the development of the health investment plan by going to public consultation while the service plans are being developed. Everyone can help shape the plans for our local NHS and the decisions that must be taken in  March 2002".

Dr John Hastie, Chairman of the North Peterborough Primary Care Trust Executive said, "We aim to provide the best possible health service to the local population. With this plan we can achieve that aim"
