Claire's Westminster Hall Debate on Minor Injury Service Provision in the Constituency of Devizes
On Tuesday 13th July Claire secured an Adjournment Debate in Westminster Hall on the lack of a Minor Injuries Unit in the constituency of Devizes. Simon Burns MP Minister of State for Health Services attended.
NHS Wiltshire closed the minor injury units at Devizes and Savernake in September 2007. Claire launched a campaign on Thursday 1st July to get an MIU back in the constituency.
The constituency of Devizes is in the top 20 of constituencies with the lowest density of populations. Out of those 20 only one other constituency has no MIU. Constituencies with similar densities such as North Devon have as many as 4 MIUs. (Source: House of Commons Library 29/06/10)
