Following
several years of relentless removal of services from
St. John's Hospital in Livingston and huge public protest
at the downgrading of local health care facilities,
the Action to Save St. John's Hospital party (ATSSJH)
was formed and stood several candidates in 2007 Scottish
Parliament and local elections.
The
result was a huge success for the Party, not only did
they have a considerable influence in changing the political
picture in West Lothian but had 3 candidates elected to
West Lothian Council. With a significant presence within
West Lothian Council, the ATSSJH party has a single election
manifesto to work to - the safe restoration of services
to St. John's Hospital in the best interests of patients,
staff and the local Community.
The
ATSSJH party has already brought issues regarding St.
John's to the public and political arenas where successes
have been achieved in stopping the removal of any further
services from St. John's and hospital parking charges.
The
party is dedicated to ensuring St. John's is safely reinstated
as a fully functional local emergency hospital, capable
of providing quality health care services for the Lothians
Community. |
