WIGAN faces huge health spending cuts while wealthy areas in the south stand to profit, shock new figures reveal.
Research by the constituency office staff of Makerfield?s MP Yvonne Fovargue shows the town stands to LOSE more than ?10m or ?31 for every man, woman and child while the affluent borough of Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead will GAIN ?16m or ?136 for every person within its boundary.
Now Ms Fovargue has written to the country?s NHS chief slamming the Government?s latest cuts and demanding a u-turn.
On December 17, the board of NHS England will decide how much money Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) will receive to fund healthcare for their population. This money is used to pay for emergency and elective hospital care as well as mental health services, community nursing or NHS Walk-in Centres.
