A TOWN-wide health survey which aims to save hospital and GP services has been extended by two weeks.

Wantage Town Council has already had 1,600 responses to the questionnaire which it running as an alternative to the Big Health and Care Consultation.

Councillors hope that if that official survey by health bosses concludes it would be best to cut local services, their results will show what people really think, and bolster the case for improving local provision.

Residents can pick up and return surveys at The Beacon on Portway or fill out the survey online at surveymonkey.co.uk/r/wantage until Wednesday, March 8.
