STOP PRESS – RENEWED THREAT TO THE WHITTINGTON

(Sunday 25th July) Last week we were notified that a stocktake was in progress, to review current services in North London. We wrote to the communications director at NHS North Central London to obtain a guarantee that our hospitals were safe. On Friday evening we received a response but unfortunately it contained no unconditional guarantee that the Whittington (or any other North London hospital) is safe. Furthermore, it stated that the future responsibility for health service plans would be devolved from the Department of Health to local GP commissioners.

This implies that all North London services face a very uncertain future, and with this in mind we have decided to hold a protest on 29th July, at 1pm, outside the DoH, 79 Whitehall. We expect to be joined by members of the public who are trying to protect the Chase Farm hospital.

New Post: Why We Won The Whittington

Defend the Whittington Hospital Coalition (DWHC) was set up to build a united opposition to the proposals to close the Accident and Emergency Department at the Whittington Hospital and to stop the closure, privatisation and run-down of NHS services in our area. We are opposed to any loss of service in any hospital in North London.

Please join our campaign.
