MAY I suggest that the committee for Herefordshire Council's Health Scrutiny arrange an emergency meeting and vote Councillor Thomas off as chairman?

May I further suggest, they then ensure that a person with medical experience, with a less negative attitude to this problem, who has had to travel for treatment and who will join with the others who are making supreme efforts to get these machines and staff into Hereford, is given the position?

I write as someone who has done the 33+ daily journeys to Cheltenham.
