The aim of the debate is to answer key questions about the future of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary’s A & E unit and hospital services across both Huddersfield and Calderdale.
Dr Woodcock said: “There should be a good attendance with more than 80 people applying for the tickets.
“We have also had plenty of questions submitted and I have spent the past couple of days sorting through them to come up with a range of questions which address the main issues.
“I want a big, open discussion about health services; it’s not a sabre-rattling exercise for the local campaign group”.
