With reference to Cllr John Walsh's comments about the story regarding the damage done by builders to Bolton's Elephants, which were given to the hospital.

Councillor Walsh said "I would hope that some means can be found by the NHS to have repairs carried out and restore it to its former glory."

To suggest it is the responsibility of Bolton NHS to carry out repairs when they are being asked to make even more cuts is an irresponsible suggestion. A; they didn't cause the damage and B; it is his Tory government that have made the harshest cuts to NHS budgets.
