Meeting with Nerissa Vaughan

Last Friday I had a meeting at the Great Western Hospital with Nerissa Vaughan, the new Chief Executive. She was already aware of the loss of local services at Devizes and Savernake hospitals and had many interesting ideas as to how community hospitals can support the "acute" hospitals such as Great Western, with step-down beds, clinics and other services. She has kindly agreed to come to a Health Seminar that I am organising in Devizes to review future health plans for the town. This event is timely given that X-ray services in Devizes have been suspended and I have written to the Primary Care Trust to ask how long it will take before we can expect to see this clinic back in action.
