Arthur, having read the business case (such as it is) I agree with you re the inadequacy of the plans in setting out how they will improve local health services. I attended an Acton ward forum (I think you were there as well) and when I asked the CCG big wig what the proposed new Out Of Hospital hubs (suppose to replace some services currently providing in hospitals) would contain and where they'd be I got a lot of waffle; I don't think she knew because there probably isn't a clear plan. We have a National, not a local, Health Service so moving services between locations should not be rejected out of hand and hospital buildings shouldn't become sacred cows. District general hospitals have been becoming less important over the last 15 years; it was the last Labour government that saw London stroke services concentrated in few locations (with Ealing Hospital losing their unit) and Lord Darzi calling for more primary care based service delivery; the latter means less done in hospitals though no one was prepared to acknowledge that at the time. None of that detracts from the fact that the current plans are half baked. But the Conservative councillors did not vote for the plan; they voted against a Labour party motion opposing closure of Charing Cross and Ealing hospital. They know they're not cloaing and Hammersmith's Labour Council is subject of a formal complaint from Imperial Trust for stating this. This is the Laobur party trying to brand the Tories as the 'nasty' party; there's a general election campaign so the Labour party will be telling us we have 24/48/72 hours to save the NHS. The debate on local health services has to move beyond this type of political point scoring.
