Richard's Comments:

"I have attended the Wyre Forest Clinical Commissioning Group meeting this morning. Pleased to learn that the temporary presence of a doctor in the Kidderminster Hospital minor injuries unit, that was organised to ease the load on the A&E unit in Worcester, is being assessed. I hope that this will prove to have been cost effective and worthwhile as it would certainly help the ambulance service and local people who are sent to the Worcester A&E simply because a doctor's opinion is needed.  If this is continued, widespread publicity of the extension of services at Kidderminster Hospital will be essential. Previously when a doctor was in the unit, neither local people nor the ambulance service were sufficiently informed. So it was not well used."
