Cotswold MP, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown will be leading the protests when Health Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, visits Cirencester tomorrow.

Mr. Clifton-Brown will be demonstrating at Cirencester Hospital on Tuesday 25 July, from 1.30pm. He will be accompanied by protesters from across Gloucestershire; particularly from Fairford and Tetbury – where in-patient facilities have recently been closed.

Geoffrey Clifton-Brown says:
“I encouraged everyone at the rally in Cheltenham on Saturday to protest when the Health Secretary visits Cirencester.

I have contacted everyone who has written to me about the health cuts, alerting them to the visit, and asking them to join me.

It is vital that the Cotswolds makes its voice heard.”
