More than a month after a review into the re-configuration of the trust?s services was completed, Kirklees Conservatives have officially declared their opposition to the downgrading of the Dewsbury hospital.
The news comes the same day that campaign group Save Dewsbury Hospital revealed it had confirmation that hospital chiefs planned to cut 250 of the 360 beds at Dewsbury Hospital by 2017.
A proposal to reduce services at Dewsbury and increase expertise at Pinderfields is currently sitting with the Secretary of State for Health.
The plan, which will see the loss of overnight consultants in A&E, is supported by Dewsbury?s Conservative MP Simon Reevell.
But leader of Kirklees Conservatives, Clr Robert Light, said the plan was not in the best interests of patients in north Kirklees.
