A DAMNING unanimous vote fo no confidence in hospital bosses has been taken by councillors.
The vote, taken at last night's meeting of Burnley Borough Council, is yet another blow to the board of East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust which has suffered a public backlash since it stripped Burnley General Hospital of its accident and emergency department.
The motion, which was put forward by Coun. Darren Reynolds, called on members to support a no confidence vote and to urge the Secretary of State for Health to set up an independent review into how the vital services could be restored in Burnley.
Coun. Reynolds has also sent a dossier, containing damning statements from both patients and despairing staff members and managers, to Trust chiefs.
To read a full report of the highly-charged debate, pick up a copy of tomorrow's Burnley Express.
