Reader’s letter: Too late for hospital care

I welcome Robert Jenrick’s campaign to extend the hours of Newark’s urgent care department.

What a shame he didn't hold similar views when he was serving in the government.

Surely readers will remember that successive Tory governments closed the town’s A and E department, and then reduced the hours of the Urgent Care Centre.

Mr Jenrick’s new-found enthusiasm for public services, after just a few short weeks in opposition, smacks of hypocrisy and opportunism. — DUNCAN BARNETT, Newark.
