Only two weeks ago I had the need of a Paramedic attendance at my home around 7am, the attention I recieved was first class, in as much as that on the way to hospital had already had ECG and other test such as blood sats levels ect, before arrivng at A & E at the Royal. However I'm of the opinion that Burnley should have emergency faclities as well as Blackburn. I can't think that the decision to close the A & E at Burnley was made by medical people, which is the trouble with todays NHS, these decisions should be made on clincal need not at the behest of pen pushers or Governmen targets
