Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Reverend Tim Gomm, I have changed the venue for this Thursday's public meeting on the future of Portland Hospital from the Pavilion to All Saints' Church, Portland. It is probably one of the only venues that could cope with the expected numbers, but I had no idea Tim would be prepared to allow his church to be used for this. He is and I am very grateful. Clearly, it makes sense to hold the meeting on the island, but an experience during the fight to save Swanage Hospital persuaded me to choose a venue that could definitely cope, rather than have many angry residents trapped outside and not being able to take part. I am sure now that we have the right place and the meeting will run between 1830 and 2000. CEO Ron Shields will be present to explain the change in health provision.
