The Save King George Hospital campaign is a multi-party, multi-faith campaign to stop the proposed closure of A&E and call for the return of Maternity services to King George Hospital, Ilford. @SaveKGHAand E
Following our meeting of 15th July I have this question to be tabled to Cllr Athwal at his last meeting as Council Leader on the 25th July.
Will the Leader agree, in light of the public meeting for a new wing for King George Hospital on the 15th July and BBC report saying corridor care is becoming the new normal at Queens to lead a march from King George to this Town Hall campaigning for a new wing for King George for maternity to return and more in-patient beds?
I will have our new wing our banner outside the Town Hall at 6:30pm with a photo shoot at 6;45pm to encourage Jas to lead the campaign.
Many thanks to everyone speaking and attending last night. The Town Hall backed off the ban on our banner being removed from the Town Hall railings. Despite being told earlier in the day the banner would be removed, the Town Hall had a change of heart and our banner was left in place per the pic below: Ashburn Holder of the Lib-Dems sent apologies due to illness and Syed Siddiqi of the Greens sent apologies for having to continue to work in his NHS job and Mohammed Asif whose family responsibilities prevented his attendance.
Unfortunately my phone camera did not work inside, but I hope to have some photos shortly.
The video of the meeting is below:
There were calls for the floor for a march so I will post more about this in due course.
Yesterday the banner promoting the new wing for King George meeting
on the 15th July on the Town Hall steps was confiscated by Town Hall
staff. This is the second time this has happened.
There is a recording of the incident on my twitter account.
I have ordered a third banner and intend to put it on the
Town Hall railings again on the 15th July at 7:30pm.
I believe the Town Hall staff have been overly heavy handed
and misunderstood the law.
However, should I be wrong I would be grateful if the appropriate Councillor, which is likely to be Cllr Athwal, who this morning was still listed as Council Leader, could explain what law is being broken and the penalty.
I was blocked from speaking at overview this evening, but I am delighted to report town hall staff changed their mind and I will be speaking.
I hope that the order banning the banner going up on the Town Hall steps will also be rescinded.
It would be great if any of you could attend the meeting on the 15th July at 8pm at our Town Hall.

Dear Andy,
You have been registered to speak as requested. Please refer
to my earlier email.
Noting that the information that you have requested in
relation to the PDC Overview Report is accessible via Officers within the
Council’s Business Intelligence (BI) Team, rather than via a Councillor on the
OSC to whom you have directed your question, I am assisting in the provision of
this information to you, as provided by the BI Team in the attached charts.
The information provides projections data from the Office
for National Statistics (ONS) which is based on the 2011 values, projected from
2018 – 2043, split by 5-year age groups and by sex. It also includes ward level
projections from 2011 – 2041, split by sex.
I trust that this information sufficiently responds to your
question.
"The number of patients seeking urgent and emergency care at BHRUT increased by 9% in
January when compared to January 2023. More than 5,800 extra patients were seen, treated,
discharged or admitted within 4 hours this January compared to January 2023. All types
performance was 74.1% for January 2024 which puts us in the national upper quartile.
There were 12,767 type 1 attendances in January. Type 1 performance was 50.7%. Queens
Type 1 performance was 50.1% which is a 11.4% improvement within 10 months, King George
achieved 51.7% - a 24.1% improvement within 9 months.
Type 2 activity is in Gynaecology and Eye Clinic, Gynaecology performance decreased to 79.1%
(85.4% in December). Eye Clinic performance was 83.2% (83.5% in December).
Type 3 activity increased to 13,676 attendances in January and performance improved 95.3%
(95.1% in December)."
Substantial new developments are planned in East London, without new in-patient beds and more GPs the East London NHS performance seems set to decline.
Delighted to announce our next campaign meeting on the 15th July 2024 at 8pm
Speakers so far include Bob Archer - Redbridge Trades Union Council
Glenn Holmes
Sajida Ugradar - Redbridge Independents
The Health Service Journal has reported today that violence is "going through the roof" at King George and Queens. My concern is that long waits for care may be a factor in the increase. Patients need more beds and medical staff to improve care and cope with existing and future demand.
