Due to a number of requests from posters on the Haverhill-UK Local Issues Message Board, Haverhill-UK has created the facility for an online petition against proposed cuts to funding at Haverhill's surgeries.
The proposed budget cuts could total up to £400,000 being withdrawn from funding for doctors’ surgeries in Haverhill. It has been argued that these cuts may even result in the loss of two doctors from Haverhill practices and lead to fewer appointments.

More patients and less doctors? Duh! |
| Paul howells |
We need more as we are a growing town. So it is just to keep or to get some more |
| Clive Turner |
We just moved back from overseas to the UK. Almost daily we are disgusted by the sight of litter (and litterbugs), unkempt public areas which may be privately owned, and the constant drain on our finances by various taxes. Fuel alone has increased 15pence per litre in the 5 months we've been in the UK.
---where is the money going? We don't see anything but plastic bags in the trees beside Sainsburys' - our 2 year old thinks they grow there.
---why is there so little pride 'in the people' here? Folk complain, but we still see people dropping litter daily. The first steps to tidying up are a look in the mirror.
---why do the firms that operate in Haverhill keep their premises in such state? Hear my call to action, and tidy up your public face. (Sainsburys! That second hand shop off the high street...)
---Finally, whats going on with the street market? A car boot sales have better goods. There are a couple of good stalls (cheese, the food stalls in general) - but there's nothing to attract people to Haverhill.
My last rant - what's being done for the 14-19 year olds in town? No wonder there's so much "trouble" in the UK, our teens are bored senseless! Again, where's my tax money going? I know there are elderly in the community, but I would like to see more done for the youth - give them something to be proud of!

my parents moved here in 1960 when i was nearly 2yrs , so i have lived here most of my life and as far as i can see not a lot has changed, we do need more doctors ,the town is still expanding but they dont want to give us more doctors to cope with it, |

What can be said everyone feels the same it is ludicrous to cut our medical services. We already are penalised having to find our own way to the hospitals for appointments. With the growing population and new houses being built; someone should speak up for us in Parliament. |
| Tina Turner |
For a town that is supposed to be growing this is ludicrous. It's difficult enough to get an appointment now, what will it be like if the cuts go ahead. |

in the last 8 years the rate of Council Tax has almost doubled, the population of the town has increased considerably thus generating more income, yet we are facing cuts in our most fundamental service. Why? Where is all that additional revenue going? We do not have more police on the streets, we do not have more schools, we do not have increased refuse collection, street cleaning, road repairs etc etc and now we are to have reduced access to NHS care. I take it then that we can anticipate a corresponding reduction in the rate of Council Tax? |

I think its disgusting that with a town the size of Haverhill we are getting treated like we don't exist its bad enough there is no hospital but you cant put peoples lives at risk but cutting the number of doctors available |

The town has expanded greatly in the last 10 years with little increase in associated services. The medical cover should be being expanded to cope with this not cut back. Same applies to many other services and the local communication links. |
| michael bradshaw |
NO FURTHER HOUSING DEVELOPEMENT in Haverhill and surrounding areas should be allowed by local or national government until the medical services infrastructure currently provided meet the needs of the existing population and its expected natural increase.We the residents should be sure to remember this at local and National elections. The same logic should also be applied to policing. Authorities are very quick to evoke laws to extract rates and taxes from the people but very slow in providing the benefits for which the taxes are collected. |

With Haverhil expanding we need more services...not less!! |

there should not be cuts in a town as large as Haverhill. The town does not even have a walk in medical centre. |

just moved here with my kids from Nottinghamshire and cant believe that they are going to cut funding for the doctors especially as the town is STILL growing. Soon the doctors wont be able to cope with the influx of people moving here and then where will we be? As a mother, if one of my kids was ill i would want to have access the a doctor asap not having to wait. If they cut services then its the PEOPLE who will suffer. This is just stupid!!! |

It would be a step in the WRONG direction |
| audrey ramsden green |
We have only just moved here from London and we were hoping to improve on the overprescribed medical services there. We would certainly dissaprove of any medical service cuts in Haverhill and would hope to see a new hospital in the near future |

I came to Haverhill with the London "Overflow" over 40 years ago and we were promised more doctors and possibly a cottage style hospital then because of the growing population. Its unbelievable that 40 years on the same question has still not been addressed, if it is the intention to take away the doctors.

Usual PCT incompetence - and they have the nerve to charge premium rate to call the surgeries! |

No More Cuts, Haverhill is growing not shrinking. Services are not coping now. Enough is Enough. We need more accessible services, at times everyone can access, as people get sick 24/7 not just nine to five Monday to Friday. Just in case the powers that be have failed to notice!! |
| glynis evans |
isnt it bad enough that haverhill is one of the biggest towns in the the uk without a railway. also there is a NO hospital & soon there will be even less doctors. yet it probably has one of the most prestigious locations for a london commute (by road or rail (via whittlesford or audley end). be proud of what it has to offer & enhance on it. dont drag it down. |
| dave morris |
Haverhill is a fast expanding town with an ageing population as well as a large immigrant population. It is vital to all the people of this town that existing medical facillities are not reduced. |
| peter william garner |
there is population expansion in this area,therefore increased tax revenues,so increased medical facilities seems more appropiate |
| charlotte |
This is Unjust and obserd to suggest that a town that has plans for more housing should cut G.P services more should be created not cut. |
| T. Walls |
So much for the labour parties battle cry, health, health,health,if the truth should truly be known, all the politicians are in those jobs for what they can get out of it for themselves, probably they are all cheats, thieves and liars |
| John Rowling |
As Haverhill is one of the fastest expanding towns in Suffolk, the policy of the PCT should be of expanding its medical cover of the town instead of the opposite. |
| Shirley Stringer |
When is the government going to get anything right. When labour got in it was we are going to put £ millions into the NHS. When is the money going to appear? Or is the millions going to be made by cutbacks? |

It's hard enough as it is to get an appointment, these proposed cuts will only add to people's current frustrations. Funding for medical facilities and personnel should be high on any local council's agenda. Why is it that Haverhill always seems to be loosing out on the most basic essential public requirements? |
| Ann Sisson |
Please attend on Tuesday night, I have told the PCT that the people of Haverhill are very upset about the current funding situation.
So the more people that attend the better. |

As Asked by Trudie please make your feelings seen and heard on Tuesday at the meeting |
| Steve Shaw |
Haverhill is a fast-growing town who are looking to develop more housing in the next 10 years. With the growth expansion including new leisure facilities (Cinema), retail (Tesco & smaller food retail) and new housing on the Wratting side of town, it would be rather silly to REDUCE services when we are encouraging more people to live in town. Things like bad quality of medical services will work against the town. Suggest they have a re-think about possible cuts. |
| chris cullum |
basically i think this is totally unjust and lets see what happens at the meeting tuesday our town clerk has made the studio available this room basically will hold roughly 15 people he cannot allow anymore because of health and safety issues so any more than 15 and you wont get invery clever mr town clerk |
