A RAY of hope was gleaming for the campaign to save Hartley Hospital in Colne. Regional health chairman Sir John Page, hinted to Burnley MP Peter Pike that the hospital might possibly be kept on for a while in a geriatric role.

Sir John hinted Hartley may be kept on because of delays with the new hospital in Pendle.
