A pensioners group calls for a public meeting
A pensioners' group has vowed to start a campaign to combat changes to a health centre's phone number.
Biggleswade and District Pensioners' Association has spoken out agains the change to the Saffron Road health centre in Biggleswade, which now uses an 0844 number - as reported in the Biggleswade Chronicle in February.
It says the new system, which adds callers to a queue, is adding unnecessary burden and cost on illness.
Chairman Ken Lynch said: "I want to talk to Biggleswade Town Council to see if we can arrange a public meeting because lots of people are having problems. We want to make sure that justice is done for the senior citizens and everybody.
"Healthcare should be free to the point of delivery, which it isn't now."
