I totally resonate with Eileen Berry's letter (May 9) where she states that the decision has already been made regarding the closure of A & E. 

Hospital executives are simply trying to sell it to a public that is more in tune with reality, actually experiencing the front-line effectiveness of current services, which are awesome. 

Visiting patients, staff relocation, exceptionally busy M3 and more. 

Common sense must prevail. However this is seemingly reserved for the public, not decision makers.
