Fighting for Life
'I've never known anything in Shropshire to cause such a fight.'
Eighty-four-year-old
Gladys Morris is one of the Shropshire legions up in arms about the threatened closure of their ten cottage hospitals. Surgeons, physicians, nurses and patients join together in this film to argue that not only are these hospitals essential to this large rural county, but they also make sound economic sense. These normally quiet country folk have taken to the streets to fight this latest attack on rural services.
