I'VE just read the World and I would like to remind Frank Burns, acting chief executive of NCH, that patients being taken to other hospitals are at risk by the extra journey.
My son, James, was left waiting for an ambulance for quite a long time outside the Cinderella Hospital in the rain, when he could have been taken into Halton.
He was only yards away from its doors yet had to go on a 12 miles journey to another hospital.
In the old entrance of Halton Hospital there is a remembrance plaque of my son, James Francis Burns, and this is a permanent reminder of a victim who never got a chance in life due to a lack of facilities.
My anger and resentment will never go away. As far as I'm concerned the rumours going around are not scare mongering, they are simply the truth.
