Care Centre Decision Attacked

Friday 13 May 2011

Town Clerk Nina Villa has attacked the closure of Hertford's Urgent Care Centre, claiming that the criteria for judging the centre's success was flawed.

The Town Clerk was part of an evaluation panel that recommended closure in February. The panel also included Town Council leader Linda Radford and Cllr.Dorothy Hone.

Ms.Villa claims that targets set by health bosses were unrealistic but that the panel were given no alternative but to use them.

In a letter to The Hertfodrshire Mercury, she says that she remains absolutely opposed to the closure, despite having no choice other than to agree that the centre did not meet the flawed pre-existing criteria.
