THE Daily Echo is backing a campaign to show health bosses exactly what you think about their controversial plans to close your hospital beds.

Beds at five community hospitals at Hythe, Lyndhurst, Milford-on-Sea, Fordingbridge and Romsey, are threatened with the axe.

Health chiefs may be facing a massive cash crisis but once the invaluable services currently being provided for your communities are gone, they will be lost forever.

One of two options put forward would result in the loss of all 106 beds. The other would involve the closure of 40-60 beds.
