The video clip is Matthew Trainer, the Chief Executive of BHRUT explaining why the new unit will only have a marginal impact on the very poor A&E waits at King George and Queens Hospitals.
Matthew says the new unit will have a two new theatres but no overnight beds.
I will table at question for the next board meeting for how many extra beds BHRUT needs to meet the 95% four hour safety benchmark.
King George clearly needs a new wing with additional overnight beds to cope with existing and future demand. Redbridge Trades Council is backing the campaign for a new wing and I hope to have news soon for when our next campaign meeting will take place soon.
