Canon Stephen Weston ( left) - Vicar of Chipping Norton, Rural Dean and Chairman of the Healthcare User Group (CHUG) - made a forceful presentation to the assembled Oxfordshire County Council this morning. The imposition of a deadline on the attempts to find solutions to the VAT and Impairment problems which have arisen over the new Chippy Hospital was not helpful and the Vicar asked for the deadline to be removed. The stance of the Cabinet was jeopardising the whole scheme. He told them that if the Hospital did not materialise this would be regarded as a "betrayal" by the people of the town. He said "I wouldn't want to live with that decision if I was you". (You almost expected a thunderbolt to come crashing through the ornate ceiling as he made that point!) He expressed the frustration which the action groups had felt over several years.

But thanks most of all to Stephen Weston who played a blinder.

But residents are worried about the implications of this change.Speaking at the meeting Mr Weston, chairman of the town's Healthcare Users Group (HUG), said residents should push for staff to be kept in the NHS. "At the moment it is the VAT issue stopping the show and it is immoral that two charitable, non VAT paying bodies have to pay VAT when they get together," he said.

The meeting will also include representatives from the Order of St John, which will be responsible for the care home, Chipping Norton Town Council and Canon Stephen Weston, who chairs the local healthcare users' group.
