This is especially so as if you need to see an emergency Dr, you are obviously sick. Taking a taxi would be SO expensive and may prohibit the sick person to travel leaving the only option, to call for an ambulance.
Newmarket is a large, thriving town which I believe should continue to have this important service available to the residents.

Newmarket is internationally renowned and unique and its services should not be downgraded further, especially when we have a hospital. Travelling to Mildenhall will cause inconvenience and costs to all involved and some will choose to use the A&E at Addenbrooks or West Suffolk which will cause further strain on the hospitals.
