So these Christies doctors just thought they'd make a statement about IF something happened? Oh really? Why? Were they bored? Finished the crossword and needed something to occupy themselves with? They were worried that they would no longer be able to do their job properly because Christies was going to be carved up, but it's all right because that does not mean "closure". Just like you didnt "close" withington hospital. You just opened up a glorified outpatients and flogged the land off to Countryside properties for flats. So, BBC, MEN, Reporter, the CHristies Doctors, John Leech, all got it wrong. Yeah, sure.
