For the past two months the constituents have been bombarded with posters and leaflets bearing the Leech campaign catch phrase 'Save Christie Hospital'. I wonder what exactly it was that John was trying to save Christie Hospital from. Was it the £7m pledge (MEN 24/05/2005, p13) which will strengthen the hospital's role as Europe's biggest specialist cancer centre; or is he trying to save it from the newly proposed eight bed unit equipped with life saving equipment? Come on John, we all saw the posters, we all read the leaflets; isn't it time that you stood up and explained to the people of Manchester Withington exactly why Christie needed to be saved!
