WHAT a disaster it will be if the health service bosses do close Lever Chambers walk-in health centre.

If almost half of the 40,000 patients seen per year are referred elsewhere, then more than 20,000 patients have been helped in the community.

Successive governments have been keen to promote care in the community these past few years.

If the closure goes ahead, then relegation for the Royal Bolton Hospital seems certain as they cannot meet their A&E targets now.
