Do you know anyone who has suffered a heart attack? If so, you will know the importance of having speedy treatment to open a blocked artery.
There are proposals to move the Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention procedure from Torbay to Exeter. This is a life saving emergency treatment for a heart attack when a blocked artery needs to be quickly opened. Moving the procedure 24 miles away when time is the essence, will lead to dangerous delays in emergency care.
A petition has been started to keep this vital service in Torbay to ensure the best possible cardiac care for the residents of South Devon so please take 1 minute to complete:
