CAMPAIGNERS fighting to keep health care in Devizes have called for the consultation period to be extended.

The group Devizes Action to Save Our Hospital has written to the Prime Minister asking for more time. Experts from the Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care said the consultation period was was four weeks less than guidance issued by the Government.
