VARIOUS editions of the Lib-Dem Focus newsletter contain an article on the future of Fairfield Hospital, demanding that Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust come clean.

I find this rather strange, as Lib-Dem councillor Tim Pickstone is actually a member of the Acute Trust board, the body which makes all decisions about services at Fairfield. Why not ask him? Better still, Coun Pickstone himself might wish to comment.
