Edited sentence: A new hospital is currently being built in Spalding which should provide a wide range of modern facilities that will be totally inadequate by the time it is built.As of September 2006, after-hours doctors became no longer available, and Spalding has become totally dependent on paramedics and the NHS Direct phone services.However, like most of the country, public services have not kept pace with the growing population, leading to shortages in services such as NHS dentists and doctors, and the maintenance of a local road system perhaps more suited to 1960s traffic levels.Spalding's nearest major hospitals are Boston (18 miles north) and Peterborough (20 miles south),so in an emergency you are likely to be dead before you get there,especially Boston where it takes an hour to get through the town to the hospital, and, despite the growing population, hospital services continue to be cut.There will however be no in-patient facilities and essentially the new building will place all the current services scattered around the town under one roof and quite some distance from the town centre.To discover the true problems caused by Spalding's growth why not visit "The Conservative Spaldonian" on
