letter sent to Recorder

Dear Sir or Madam

The Barking Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals Trust (BHRUT) clinical services strategy is a cause of BHRUT's problems.
This strategy commits to closing King George A&E. Even though the plan to close King George A&E is supposed to be under review.

The bed and staffing cuts that have taken place at King George as preparation for the A&E closure have led to a deterioration in care at  BHRUT that was called staggering by Cllr Zammett earlier this year. Yet bewilderingly BHRUT are sticking with the King George A&E closure plan, prompting Redbridge Council to commit to fighting "tooth and nail" for our A&E per the recent Recorder article. 

This has prompted us to to book Redbridge town hall for a cross party public meeting for November 17th to say BHRUT need to honour their pledge to review the closure of King George A&E.

It is important that Dr Moghal, the BHRUT Medical Director gets a grip of the situation and take the King George closure plan off the BHRUT website and start making the case for expanding King George and Queens.

The evidence for the deterioration in care is at savekinggeorgehospital.blogspot.com/
