  I doubt it could be "future-proofed" at the Buckland location, so what we get is what we have - forever.
  
  I don't want to start the whole debate up again about where it should be as that didn't really get us anywhere, other than the worst possible location.
  
  We were always told that whatever facilities we have at Buckland, there will be new ones and more, at the new hospital.
  
  Dover District Council sent a very strong, robust letter saying we should keep birthing units there - and the reasons, but with very little support from the local people (through lack of attendances at the consultation meetings, because many people made the comment, or had the feeling, about it being a done deal), they (the PCT decision-makers) took the view that it wasn't that important to the majority of people of Dover and so have made the decision and stopped them - at Canterbury too.
  I'm sure there are a lot of angry people in Canterbury.
