Comment on North Central London NHS Strategy Plan 2010 – 2014 by Berry Tebb

Having read the NCL 2010-2014 Forward Planning Strategy Document I am unimpressed.Health inequalities arise out of poverty and deprivation not out of unplanned ‘access to healthcare pathways’.Polysystems are aimed at saving money,not saving lives.Faciities need to be improved,not abolished.’Conveyor Belt Medicine’is an alarming prospect.It exists already in mental health in the form of ‘recovery centres’instead of day hospitals and patients have reswponded with huge anger.To repudiate tne NCL’s Strategy document I would need to write a counter-thesis of equal length e.g.71 pages!After 35 years as a carer with a long term interest in the philosophy of science and psychoanalysis my intuition is that the Coalition needs to take to the streets.If NCL is allowed to go ahead there will be a public health disaster on an unprecented scale.The country is in a state of turmoil and fears of NCL’ “stocktaking” are well founded-asset stripping would be a more appropriate term.

The Enfield Gazette is under the impression that Rachel Tyndall is “a top NHS boss”.No doubt Ms Tyndall-Chief Executive of Islington PCT would like herself to be see as but the truth is that she is no more than a middle manager and middling meddling middle manager at that.

A similar attempt to close an A and E dept here two years ago was defeated by a coalition of mp’s from all three parties and the leaders of the relevant borough councils.After further negociations a £219m upgrade for the same hospital-St Helier-was finally announced this week!This shows what an effective coalition can do and Sutton is not noted for its political awareness.North London is politically the hottest potato in the UK and I read with horror andf dismay reports of the implacability of Ruth Tyndall.Last week’s Camden New Journal leader demanded her swift departure and I’m sure we all concur-RUTH TYNDALL MUST GO
