Dear Mr Ryall,
I am alarmed by the prospect of Dunedin Hospital losing its resident neurosurgery services. I believe this significantly lessens the safety of people living in or visiting southern New Zealand and must not be allowed to happen.
I strongly object to further downgrading our our southern health services. It is grossly unfair for New Zealanders and overseas visitors to face higher risks, extra stress and additional costs.
Yours sincerely,
