Protect Torbay's Coronary Services
Steve Darling, Lib Dem MP for Torbay, is deeply concerned about the proposed relocation of PPCI (Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) services from Torbay to Exeter. PPCI is a vital, life-saving treatment for heart attack patients, and moving it 24 miles away will lead to dangerous delays in emergency care.
This decision puts lives at risk and undermines accessible healthcare for the people of South Devon. Steve is urging local health bosses to rethink these plans and ensure that our community continues to receive the urgent treatment it needs, when and where it’s most critical.
Join Steve in calling for this service to remain in Torbay by adding your name to his petition.
Protect Torbay’s Coronary Services
We, the undersigned, call upon the House of Commons to urge the government to intervene and direct local health bosses to scrap the proposed relocation of PPCI (Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) services from Torbay to Exeter. PPCI is a life-saving intervention used in cases of heart attacks. The decision to move this service 24 miles away will introduce critical delays in emergency treatment, putting lives at risk. Residents of South Devon deserve timely access to essential healthcare services without unnecessary barriers. We urge health authorities to reconsider this move and ensure that coronary care remains accessible for the people of Torbay.
