Seaton top of TV news as Scrutiny backs us
Jack Rowland and I addressed a crowded Devon Health Scrutiny Committee meeting yesterday and were very well received. The Committee asked for a full report at their January meeting, and agreed to request the ICB and NHSPS to pause disposal and to negotiate seriously with us in the meanwhile. We got really great TV coverage, with Seaton leading the regional news on both channels for the first time I can remember!
Leafleting, Petition and Day of Action. 10,000 leaflets will be available from Seaton Print this Monday or Tuesday – please contact us to help deliver in your area, if you have not already done so. We will be leafleting and petitioning on Saturday 18th as planned, meeting outside the Tramway in Seaton and the Mariners in Beer.
Petition. Please sign and share online (https://www.change.org/p/save-seaton-hospital) but we also need to collect physical signatures wherever possible people, including where leafleting. The first sheets are already being returned.
- Please help get the petition forms into local shops, etc.
- Please note that completed forms should now be delivered to the League of Friends shops in Fore Street in envelopes addressed to Kirstine House.
OTHER NEWS. The Steering Committee will meet at the Hospital on Thursday 16th. Sarah Wollaston. Supporters have received emails saying that their letters will be ‘sent to the appropriate department’ – please insist that they are sent to her personally and copied to other members of the Board. Emails to some addresses have bounced back. Please check with friends who were at the meeting to see if they’re getting these emails, and if not ask them to contact me to make sure their correct addresses are on the list.

I have signed online but my wife and I could sign paper copies as well? I can’t work out how to print a paper copy! Can you tell me how to do this, please?

There is an image of a petition form on one of my previous posts, for printing. However I should say that I don’t encourage double signing – it will give people an excuse to question the overall number of signatures.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for your reply. Completely understood about double signing so we won’t do that. My wife wants to sign so she will choose one of the methods.
We are fully behind this petition to protest about the proposal and the underhand way they have gone about it.
Aidan.
