Arthur, nothing complacent about it. Let’s take your claim that A&E performance in North West London is among the worst in the country. As best as I can find, NHS publishes weekly and monthly data aggregated but only provides a breakdown by Trust each quarter; the reports can be found by googling ‘quarterly performance of the provider sector’. The figures for last three quarters of 2016 are below (North West London figures first, then London average, then national average):

Apr to Jun: 89.45% - 89.35% - 86.58%
Jul to Sep: 90.26% - 90.91% - 89.31%
Oct to Dec: 84.29% - 87.21% - 87.87%

Overall performance is well below the 95% national target but to say North West London is among the worst in the country is not true. The most recent quarterly report listed the 10 acute trusts with the worst A&E waiting times; North West London Trust isn’t there.

I feel safer knowing that where I am taken if I’m suddenly seriously ill depends on what’s wrong with me rather than which is the nearest hospital: if I have a stroke, I’ll be taken to a specialist stroke unit; if I have a heart attack, I’ll go to a hospital with cardiothoracic centre; if I’m knocked down by a car, I’ll be taken to a trauma unit. In each case, paramedics in the ambulance (which is not just a fast taxi) will stabilise my condition before the specialists get their hands on me. One can debate how many such units there should be and where they should be located, but spreading scare stories about hospitals closing won’t improve anyone’s hospital care.
