The Horton Hospital in Banbury THE mention of Tory MP Victoria Prentis during a call for support for the Horton hospital stopped some councillors from voting for it. Oxfordshire county councillors were asked by Conservative Eddie Reeves to support his motion to do everything they could to 'deliver an improved facility on the hospital’s existing site or at a new and improved one within the Banbury area that is accessible to residents across the Horton’s unique four-county catchment area'. But the motion also acknowledged the work of other groups and people in the fight to save services at the Banbury hospital, including a mention of the local Conservative MP Victoria Prentis.
