The petition, which is from Dr Michael Lynch and in the name of 1,750 other petitioners, states:
The Petition of Dr Michael Lynch, Derwent Practice, Norton Road, Malton,
Declares that the Petitioner has a strong objection to the way in which North Yorkshire and York Primary Care Trust have implemented the closure of Ryedale ward at Malton Hospital, without public consultation.
The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the Government to take all possible steps to reinstate what is a highly valued and much needed facility at Malton Hospital for the population of Ryedale.
And the Petitioner remains, etc.
