I sent the email below to Havering Councillors earlier today
Dear Councillors
1) BHRUT Deceive Havering Council with Queens planning Application
I regret to inform you that BHRUT has a culture of deceiving elected representatives and the public when it comes to their plans for closing KGH A&E and so overloading Queens.
Yesterday I discovered that BHRUT put in a planning application to extend Queens which was passed in April 2018, the purpose of the extension was to close KGH A&E per page 34 of a failed £49M bid to close KGH A&E.
The deception was by omission, the application did not state that the application was part of a £49M bid to close KGH A&E. Nor were Havering told the plan was "radical" as it proposed transferring all patients to Queens as a result of the KGH A&E closure.The previous plan sent KGH patients to three hospitals, rather than just Queens.
The application gives the impression that the works are of no great consequence and routine improvements. Understandably your planning officers sign them off without them going before Councillors and the public at a hearing.
My view is that if the truth had come out Havering Councillors would have the very least requested further information at a hearing before making a decision. The application is valid for three years, the department of health has been led to believe that Havering Council supports the plan to close KGH A&E
More on this HERE
Bear in mind BHRUT announced a review into the proposed closure of KGH A&E in Nov 2017, yet around 6 months later they are planning to close it.
2) Doodle poll for photo over mystery £25M bid by BHRUT
BHRUT have put in a bid for works totalling £25M to the department of health earlier this month, £6M of this is PFI money. It seems almost certain that this money will advance the closure of KGH A&E and so overload Queens. However, this is just speculation, the way to end such speculation is for the bid application to be published in full.
There is a doodle poll below to sort out the best date for a photo shoot to call for the bid to be published if you would like to attend. I will write tomorrow when a date and time is agreed.
The poll is at Doodle: Publish the BHRUT £25M plan
And more information HERE
3) Petition if you know someone who lives/works Redbridge against Queens being overloaded
The petition is here
I list key deceptions made by BHRUT regarding KGH A&E in the post below, none of them have been challenged by BHRUT.
