   We need better access to healthcare in cumbernauld
2. Elizabeth Ann Gallacher 1 Apr 2020
   Cumbernauld is a very large town now and still growing its shocking we dont have our own local hospital instead having to travel far to airdrie or glasgow, not easy if you dont have a car!!

   Cumberland should have a hospital , the site that was offered free should be accepted.Frankly I don't understand the reluctance to at least carry out a feasibility study. It's outrageous that residents of this town have to travel to East Kilbride and Wishaw. My personal experience is after having attended Monklands opthalmology clinic for 5 years .due to shortage of opthalmologists was given appointments for Hairmyers I after attending on 2 occasions demanded I return to Monklands. It makes sense to build new hospital in Cumbernauld

   I believe that Cumbernauld should have its own hospital. This is an enormous town and would also create a lot of jobs here. I do not drive and at present the only bus that takes me to our hospital which is Monklands is an early service.

   Our Scottish NHS needs all the help possible.

   I live in Cumbernauld and it has long struggled with lack of a&e services and out of hours it would greatly benefit the town to have these services in the town itself
7. Catherine McWilliams 1 Apr 2020
   I have lived in Cumbernauld for 47 years and Cumbernauld has long since struggled with lack of a&e and out of hours facilities it would greatly benefit the town to have them
8. sandra bowfield 1 Apr 2020
   Don't leave the people of Cumbernauld with out proper access to hospital facilities. Out of hours walk in centre would be ideal if there was not an actual hospital in the vicinity of Cumbernauld.
9. Walter Green 2 Apr 2020
   Excellent idea.
10. Walter Green 2 Apr 2020
    Excellent idea.
11. David McDonald 2 Apr 2020
    Think it should be looked at. Smaller localized hospitals might be the answer.
12. Brenda McLaughlin 2 Apr 2020
    My mobility is restricted and it cost me £50 to travel to Wishaw Hospital for CT SCAN. which I needed following chemo.
13. Kenny Mackenzie 2 Apr 2020
    Cumbernauld should have its own hospital, as it is the largest town in the Monklands catchment area. Every area should have an out of hours service within easy reach.
14. Janice Robertson 2 Apr 2020
    We need our own out of hours and hospital.
15. Catherine Thomson 2 Apr 2020
    Hospital badly needed in cumbernauld.mo lands is to far in emergency situations.
16. Joanne Mackay 3 Apr 2020
    Cumbernauld is in desperate need of a hospital. With the population of the town ever growing, and the demand for easy access to health care provisions for all services users growing with it. It is vital for our community that we have this access without the added stress and worry of transport issues, and the nearest hospital being an hour away that will see the residents of Cumbernauld.
17. Geraldine lorimer 3 Apr 2020
    Due to the size and population of Cumbernauld we definitely should have access to local hospital or at least an A&E department
18. Rosie Hutchison 3 Apr 2020
    Cumbernauld has grown so big a a town and really need a hospital on site
19. Allan Edgar 5 Apr 2020
    Recognition , pay rise, free parking, cleaners re-enrolled into NHS, to much to mention.
20. Miss BERNADETTE McMahon 5 Apr 2020
    Yes I think that the town is big enough in population to have a small hospital and the out of hours service needs reinstated I have attended a meeting with the chief of the health board and we were all agreeing that the Monklands hospital needs to be rebuilt in gartcosh as it is easier for commuting and has plenty space for the new purpose built hospital. Since this meeting it has changed dramatically the health board now wants to choice another new sight. The suggestion that it should b a small hospital to be built in Cumbernauld was not taken seriously.
21. Matthew Legge 6 Apr 2020
    I think the experience of coronavirus shows us that we cannot invest too much in our health service and that further provision of hospital beds in a distributed fashion is not over-provision or wasteful or inefficient, but actually a sensible precaution against the next pandemic (which globalisation and expanding human populations make almost inevitable).
22. Ian Richmond 9 Apr 2020
    Now we see the true importance of Healthcare & Hospitals. Never again should the NHS suffer funding cuts if fact the NHS should be given even more money, more staff and more facilities in future. This is my reason for backing this petition.
23. Christine McKenna 24 Apr 2020
    As a regular user of hospital and out of hours. The cumbernaul d area is badly served it is also the largest town in the area and it is abysmal at times trying to be seen. Shyness it been decided that gartcosh is not a suitable site is purely down to politics. Attending out of hours in the back of beyond and being greatest Hairmyers is a disaster waiting to happen if love to know the numbers of deaths of folk who don't make it there. Time cumbernauld. And Kilsyth were given a way in their health after all they pay the largest amount of council tax in th e area.
