SO THE ‘architects’ of the controversial upheaval of the NHS in Oxfordshire, David Smith, CEO, and Joe McManners, chairman of the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, are jumping ship. Let us hope that they proceed as they have over past Oxfordshire health matters, disregard any discussion, dismiss any plea to change direction and go! 

It is to be hoped that their plans for the Banbury Horton Hospital and the insistence not to reopen Deer Park Medical Centre Witney go with them. 
To whoever takes their place the message is that the fight to reopen Deer Park Medical Centre and save the Horton services continues.
