KING GEORGE HOSPITAL, ILFORD

Motion Text

That this House expresses its strong opposition to the Health for North East London proposals to downgrade services at King George Hospital, Ilford which would close the Accident and Emergency department and end critical care support and acute surgical and medical treatment, children's surgery and maternity delivery in Ilford; notes that under these proposals the 264,000 residents of Redbridge would no longer have a local hospital in the borough; and therefore calls on Redbridge Council's Health Scrutiny Committee to reject these proposals and immediately refer the matter to the Secretary of State for Health.
