Bringing it in house? Could it be possible that some of Hartlepool's finest will club together to form one of their CICs to deliver the service?
Well since OFCA has gone belly up it could be that a certain councillors family could be looking for a new income stream. Not to mention the ever increasing suspicious glances being thrown towards the Rifty project.
I hope they don't intend to move into other services. A&E with Dr Feelgood and Buster Bloodvessel in charge is hardly re-assuring.
