The submission, carried in a coffin, was signed by both MPs along with Mr Wye and neighbouring MPs Nick Gibb and Nick Herbert, who also backed Kwash.

The report set out the problems behind Fit for the the Future plans and shows clearly that the plans to downgrade hospitals were in place as far back as March of 2006t.

It showed that the views of the public have been ignored and that the involvement of clinicians in the plans was too late.
