| Andy, The feeling I got from the meeting was that MOPAC and the Police had come to no conclusion. This was a consultation process so to say "Acton is to remain open." doesn't reflect what was discussed. Acton was best equipped but Ealing was best sited and 3 hubs were mentioned. As for the health service reorganisation in North-west London I don't think the NHS management were involved. A consulting firm was used. Data collected over the period since the first two A&Es were closed show a sharp and continuing downgrade in performance in the whole region. That continued failure to reach the 4hr target has been repeatedly fudged/spun by the NHS managers. 4hrs was the target that has been repeatedly missed. That is long enough to be waiting on a trolley. 6 hours is unacceptable. And suddenly after those closures we have some of the worse rates in the country. Again not quite right to say "across the nation" Andy. I am sorry but we were told that hospital closure would be matched by alternatives in the community and 5 years on we have seen none of these hubs just shed loads of money spent on the same consultants paid to rewrite their flawed plans. I form the impression those 500 beds we are about to lose can't be replaced by investment elsewhere. Well maybe we are left to die prematurely in our own beds at home. |
