Awkward questions for Conservatives over Dussindale Walk-in Centre

April Pond is campaigning to ensure the future of the Dussindale NHS Walk-in Centre after the Conservative dominated Health and Overview Scrutiny Committee voted to close it.

The Conservative candidate in Thursday's by-election is facing awkward questions over her party's support for the centre after the Conservative-dominated committee rubber stamped the decision to close the centre.

Conservative plans for drastic cuts in spending mean the future of all Norfolk's community hospitals could be threatened. Norfolk's health services are already stretched and Conservative cuts could put them under real pressure.

Local Liberal Democrat campaigner April Pond, who has built a reputation as a key local health campaigner, is calling for Norfolk's health services to be saved from any cuts.

Her call is one of the key campaign issues during the Norwich North by-election. April led the campaign to save St Michael's Community Hospital and relieve the pressure on Norfolk's hospitals. Both the Labour and Conservative candidates are struggling to match her record of action for local people. Many local people are questioning their commitment when they have long records as Westminster insiders.
