A PETITION to see the Garden Suite chemo unit returned to the Alexandra Hospital has received more than 4,000 signatures in a week. On Monday, May 17, Redditch MP Rachel Maclean launched a petition calling for people to show their support for the chemotherapy service to be brought back to the town.

Mrs Maclean has now written to the Chief Executive of NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, Simon Trickett.
