When are we, the public, to be told the result of this meeting?
Who is doing what?
How are we to be cared for when necessary now ALL our local hospital beds been closed?
What plans are there for care when there is a diminishing number of nurses?
It would be appropriate that the answers to these questions, and more, are made public as a matter of urgency.

Lauren, this was an initial meeting in a process aimed at working out what needs to be done for health services in the Honiton area – now the beds are gone (unfortunately there is nothing more we can do about that). There is to be a follow-up meeting on Tuesday 6th March 2018 6-8pm at Honiton Community College (6th Form Department) – School Ln, Honiton EX14 1QT. I agree there needs to be public information about this and I will raise that with the organisers.
