WHAT'S happening to the Royal Infirmary, Blackburn? I have had operations and had to travel to Manchester for treatment after we paid towards the scanner in the infirmary.

Now, we are told it's closing. Why?

We could try and keep it for cancer and other complaints to be treated here, instead of patients having to travel so far. I'm sure other people would agree with this.
