We all knew they were coming, but along with seeing other local facilities and services affected, it looks like we'll be experiencing the effects of the cuts in the N.H.S. in this part of the world imminently.
If you're planning to be unwell, I'd advise you do it pronto.
Still, we shouldn't really moan.
After all we've got the royal wedding celebrations in Hyndburn to look forward to.
Let's just hope no one slips on any spilt jelly in the Market Hall, on April 29th.

The Lancashire Telegraph says that this could very well lead to longer waiting lists, fewer available treatments, and a reduction in the number of staff nursing sick patients, and will result in more ward closures.
It's also reported that the local N.H.S.'s Trust predict almost 50 fewer doctors and dentists, 226 fewer nurses, midwives and health visitors, and therapists and diagnostic health workers will be reduced by 126.
