Philip Davies MP says services should still be provided locally even if Shipley Hospital closes.
Shipley's MP has criticised plans to relocate health services currently offered at the town's hospital.But the Covid-19 pandemic led to a pause in the controversial closure of the 100-year-old facility.
If the closure goes ahead, services would be transferred to other centres, with the community physiotherapy team likely to be moved to Westbourne Green in Manningham - a distance of 2.6 miles . He said: "It would be unacceptable for the services to be removed from Shipley Hospital and relocated further away where it would be difficult for my constituents to access them.", the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership will discuss the closure at a meeting of Bradford Council's Health and Social Care Scrutiny Committee later.
