Letter to distribute outside Ilford South Labour Selection meeting today: Suppression of type 1 stats needs to end


BHRUT have ignored my 2pm deadline for today, so making it fair comment to say BHRUT are suppressing key information. I will be handing the below to Labour members before the meeting this evening.

Dear Residents

Campaign for a new Wing at King George News

1) Suppression of Type 1 statistics needs to end

BHRUT, the trust managing King George and Queens hospitals used to supply information about type 1 attendances at King George and Queens Hospitals per the below:



Today, Chris Bown, the Interim Chief Executive ignored my appeal for the above statistics to be published. Earlier this year, BHRUT gave a welcome guarantee that King George A&E type 1 would stay open. Keeping open the type 1 is important as it is backed up by 299 in patient beds. The type 3 A&E at King George is for minor illness and injuries. Suppressing the type 1 A&E attendances makes it difficult for the public and elected representatives to know if the type 1 guarantee is being honoured. These suppressed statistics are also vital evidence for why we need a new wing to be built at King George.

Cllr Zammett, the Labour Chair of the Redbridge Health Committee has been critical of BHRUT under reporting of type 1 statistics per my tweet of 4th October containing a video of Cllr Zammett's announcement of discovering systematic type 1 under reporting by BHRUT.

If you could retweet my tweet about this sent earlier today it would be helpful.

2) New Wing for King George Meeting and Walk of 9th November

So far 32 people are attending or interested per the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/1096032374121094/ The Lib-Dem and Green Party PPCs are speaking at the meeting at Ilford Town Hall for 3pm which is supported by Redbridge Trades Council. I hope the Labour PPC who is selected this evening will speak too. Any help sharing the event page would be welcome.

Regards


Andy Walker
