The meeting, staged with the help of Wantage Town Council, is the latest step in Wantage county councillors Jane Hanna OBE and Jenny Hannaby’s efforts to continue expanding healthcare provision in the town.

Both councillors have arranged the meeting after collecting responses to a public consultation run earlier this year regarding local healthcare provision, the results of which will be shared at the meeting.

NHS representatives are also expected to be in attendance.
