Another step forward for the critical bed campaign: Councillor Denis O'Flynn to attend at 10 Downing Street on 12th July

Great News that Havering Councillor Denis O'Flynn will be attending 10 Downing Street on 12th July.

Like Keith and Nic, Denis will be there to focus on the critical bed campaign so future updates will be at http://savekinggeorgehospital.blogspot.com/ in order to widen support.

Next aim is get the support of Barking & Dagenham Councillors.

letters for local press urging NHS to stop plan to allow building on King George

I am encouraging local Councillors and activists to sign a letter to go to Recorder and Wanstead and Woodford Guardian for publication this week to ask the NHS to withdraw their plan to allow housing on "surplus" land on the King George site. The letters are as follows For the Recorder: Dear Sir or Madam The 2010 NHS plan for closing King George A&E has a number of stages until the final closure. Some of these stages have already taken place at King George, such as closing some beds designed for emergency admissions and replacing them with rehabilitation beds.

Good week for building support for campaign to extend King George rather than allow housing on site

Not a great start: but will keep going on campaign to extend KGH

I sent the below to Councillors  in NE London. It did not work out, but I will keep going. Dear Councillors in Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge & Waltham Forest I write regarding the following: 1 - Why the Decision of Redbridge Council to decide to allow housing on so called “surplus land” on the King George Hospital site should concern all Councillors in North East London. The documents referenced below point to the plan to close King George A&E from 2010 as the rationale for the decision to build housing on "surplus" land. The legality of this plan has been called into doubt by a November Price Waterhouse Coopers Report report commissioned by the NHS which paused plans to close King George A&E in 2019 2 – Should you agree I would ask you to sign a press release to be published on 19thFebuary seeking the plan to build on “surplus” land on King George Hospital be referred to a Redbridge Council Working party chaired by Wes Streeting MP due to ...
