THE future of health services in west Hertfordshire will be open for discussion at a public meeting on Monday.

This issue is very much on the boil, after the announcement of the closure in April of two elderly patient wards at St Albans City Hospital.

Representatives from West Hertfordshire Health Authority, local trusts and GPs will answer questions from the public on the future possibilities for health provision in the area.

The meeting will be held in the hall at Oaklands College, St Peter's Road, St Albans, on Monday, at 7.30pm.
