letters for Ilford Recorder & Romford Recorder

Dear Sir 

We are baffled that Wes Streeting MP & Cllr Jas Athwal, Leader of Redbridge Council say it is "disappointing" that the government turned down funding of £70M for King George & Queens in 2018. Within the £70M is a £49M bid for works to close King George A&E. The bid document is at savekinggeorgehospital.blogspot.co.uk, which allows readers to view the plans to close King George A&E.
The Save King George A&E campaign team go to 10 Downing Street on 3rd May to say the new plan to close KGH A&E, for which PFI funding is being considered, must be the subject of public consultation before funding is sought. 
Whilst we would prefer the 2018 plan to be withdrawn immediately, NHS bosses are keen to proceed with it. An in depth consultation with greater information about bed numbers, staffing and projected patient numbers will, we believe, lead to the closure bid being withdrawn. Instead we argue that King George must be expanded to relieve the pressure on Queens.
We encourage Wes & Jas to think again and join us on the 3rd May.

Regards
