PEOPLE OVER 50 have been urged to have their say on St Mary's Hospital services.

Age UK Isle of Wight will hold a series of public forums during the next few weeks, where people will be able to share their views on services including urology, anaesthetics, ear, nose and throat surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, general surgery, specialist medicine, ophthalmology and haematology.

Their views will help inform plans to reshape services as part of the My Life a Full Life project.

Hospital bosses Mark Pugh and Steve Parker will attend one forum each, the morning session at the Riverside Centre and the workshop at West Wight Community Sports Centre, respectively.

For further details, contact Helen Lewis on 525282 or by email at helen.lewis@ageukiw.org.uk
