I WONDER why the vast majority of any hospital appointments we have are at Halton Hospital 11 miles from where we live, when we are just over a mile from Warrington Hospital?

I bet that the same applies to patients in Runcorn and Widnes having to travel to Warrington.

Is this the cause of the car parking problems at both sites?

Also in a previous letter I may have given the impression that I endorse the the selection of Owen Smith for Labour party leader.

I do not, as he has the same ‘leftie ideas’ as Jeremy Corbyn.

I intended to point out that the town’s MP Helen Jones could find herself deselected at the next general election, for backing him and not Corbyn.
