THE Isle of Wight could be stripped of all health services at St Mary's Hospital except maternity and A&E, the Isle of Wight Labour Party has claimed.
Isle of Wight Labour claimed in a press statement today that under direction from NHS England, Island health bosses have been instructed to prepare an option to cut the services at St Mary's Hospital, with all other provision being "shipped to the mainland". 
Island Labour's parliamentary spokesperson, Julian Critchley, said: "The Tory government has deliberately created an existential crisis in the NHS nationally, through years of serious underfunding. The health service is creaking at the seams, and the only action Jeremy Hunt offers is to fiddle with his acronyms. 
"We need to be under no illusions - the Tories intend to strip the NHS to the bone, and privatise our healthcare. 
"Islanders should be appalled to learn of plans to strip all but A&E and maternity services from St Mary's. This puts lives at risk, as well as forcing sick and vulnerable people to travel to the mainland away from their families. It's disgraceful it's even being considered."
He told the Isle of Wight County Press that the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) - a plan to re-model NHS services across the country - would have five options on the table, including this worst-case scenario.
The County Press has contacted The Isle of Wight NHS Trust for a response.
A day of action is being held for the NHS by the Isle of Wight Labour Party, supported by the Isle of Wight Save Our NHS group, on Saturday, February 3. 
The Isle of Wight Labour Party said the event will highlight the serious threat to the Island's health services posed by the government's continuing austerity-driven cuts to public services.
UPDATE - The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has responded to Labour's claims. 
Steve Parker, clinical lead for the Acute Service Redesign programme, said: “Through our Acute Service Redesign work, clinical experts are currently reviewing several different options to ensure hospital based services provide safe, good quality and affordable care for people now and in the future.
"We are absolutely committed to the continued improvement of the Island’s hospital services and making sure Islanders can achieve health outcomes that are equal to any that might be experienced by NHS patients across the country.
"In some acute services, treating our most seriously ill patients, where we are finding it difficult to maintain acceptable standards and staffing levels, this will include assessing whether it will be safe to continue providing those services on the Isle of Wight in the future. However, as a point of principle, we remain committed to retaining as much of our clinical activity here on Island as possible to minimise travel for Islanders.
 “The Clinical Commissioning Group will be reviewing the work to date at its meeting in public on February 1.
"No decisions have been made and there remains a significant amount of work to do over the course of this year to explore this further and we will continue to engage with and involve the public during this process.”
