We are not shutting one hospital or one department (in the proposed changes). What we would be doing is making one purpose built emergency centre for the people of Huddersfield and Calderdale. As well as that we'll have facilities on both sites to attend to the patients that attend A&E as it is now, in an Urgent Care Centre on each site.
