Poor show on minister for misleading Mike Gapes MP

Earlier today Mike Gapes MP reported King George A&E was safe.

Unfortunately, that is not correct.

The extract from Hansard shows Mike has been misled. The 2011 decision to close KGH A&E type 1 unit has not been revoked. An A&E has been promised, but not an explicit guarantee of a type 1 unit. A type 2 unit for King George is still being considered as part of the outstanding November 2017 review and the current clinical services strategy review.
