The Examiner has fully reported the campaign to keep vital hospital services in Huddersfield.

Now we are stepping up into the front line.

We're planning to join local MPs Barry Sheerman (Huddersfield), Kali Mountford (Colne Valley) and Mary Creagh (Wakefield) in a deputation to see health secretary Patricia Hewitt.

The MPs - and the Examiner - want her to urgently review the controversial decisions taken this week by the Primary Care Trust Boards in Huddersfield, which sounded the death knell for services such as maternity and gynaecology in this town.

And the Examiner plans to be there with them in the heart of Westminster, armed with the backing of thousands of our readers.

We want you to sign our letter below and return it to us so that we can forward them on to Mrs Hewitt and let her know how strongly the people of this town feel about their hospital.

We are convinced the MPs have a case and deserve our support.
