Just over two years ago at the start of February 2017, myself (Nick Sheldon), Pamela Wood and Michelle Harrison formed a partnership, a committee, and a group with the sole intention of bringing the plight of our beloved Leek Moorlands Hospital to the forefront of everyone’s attention. This website was built, the facebook page created,…
community beds
CCG at SMDC – Feb 13 at 2pm. PLEASE attend!
Marcus Warnes will be presenting the *ahem* OPTIONS *ahem* that WE the residents of the Moorlands have ‘supposedly’ asked for. Forgive my sarcasm above, but these so-called ‘OPTIONS’ include beds in care-homes, and guess what, we HAVE NOT asked for ANY beds to be in care-homes! WE WANT THE BEDS BACK WHERE THEY SHOULD BELONG…
06th Feb *Market Day* (Tomorrow)
The CCG are having a ‘pop up’ stand in Leek tomorrow in the market (somewhere). Please feel free to ask them as many questions as possible (you might even get an answer). Here are some questions you could ask: Why have you ‘temporarily’ closed the beds BEFORE having the consultation and MORE importantly implemented an…
CCG *Extra* Public LEEK Event (11/03/19) – Register HERE (Free)
The first one was over-subscribed and a lot of people couldn’t make it. This is in part to us advertising that it was on. It took me ages to find this event on the CCG website, as it isn’t prominent, but that’s probably on purpose. So, please, please, register and ATTEND this event and HAVE…

CCG Public Event – St Edwards School – 24.01.19
The Future of Local Health Services All 100 tickets were snapped up by concerned residents of the Moorlands, which was probably helped by our publishing of the event on our various social outlets. We must be doing something right as the week before, one of these events was held in Longton, where only eight of…

Email to the CCG
I have just sent this email to the CCG: I am contacting you on behalf of the Save Leek Hospital Action Group. We walked away from the pre-consultation with a renewed optimism garnered from the CCG starting to listen and Marcus Warnes stating to me and Mark Povey that the hospital (as-is) would not close….
Too little too late?
Excellent. Some action at last.. probably too late, as one ward is already shut, everyone has had their notice given to them, and people have moved on to new pastures to the point where the minor injuries was closed at one point earlier this year. I’d like to be positive, but it just seems to…
