Help the Campaign by our Local MP to Save Services at the Horton General

hands-off-horton-croppedVictoria Prentis, Member of Parliament for North Oxfordshire, is encouraging her constituents to take part in her campaign, #Banbury2JR, collecting information on journey times to the John Radcliffe Hospital (JR) in Oxford.

In encouraging constituents to take part in the campaign, Victoria commented: “Following the downgrade of the Horton maternity unit, I remain extremely concerned about travel times to the John Radcliffe. The journey can be so unpredictable and parking times must be taken into account. These variables need to be considered ahead of the consultation on NHS services in Oxfordshire. It would be brilliant if as many people as possible get involved in the campaign to give us a good indication of true journey times from Banbury.”

If you are travelling to the JR from the Banbury area, please fill out this survey

or print  this  form and post to:

Victoria Prentis MP, Heyford Park House, Upper Heyford, Bicester, OX25 5HD.
