Save Central Middlesex (Park Royal) Hospital
GUEST BLOG
The public 'consultation' on the NW London NHS Strategy 'Shaping A Healthier Future' held in Brent at the Pattidar Centre, Wembley tonight ( 15 May) descended into chaos as NHS bureaucrats led by Anne Rainsberry, NHS NW LONDON Chief Executive, desperately fought to prevent debate by patients hostile to the closure proposal for Central Middlesex Hospital.
The public 'consultation' on the NW London NHS Strategy 'Shaping A Healthier Future' held in Brent at the Pattidar Centre, Wembley tonight ( 15 May) descended into chaos as NHS bureaucrats led by Anne Rainsberry, NHS NW LONDON Chief Executive, desperately fought to prevent debate by patients hostile to the closure proposal for Central Middlesex Hospital.
The official programme of three hours of 'NHS
talking heads' was forced to a vote to enable an open debate - however
despite all 80 patients and patient representatives present supporting a
demand from Brent NHS Patients Campaign to hold an open
debate a small majority of highly -paid NHS bureaucrats, a few Tory
supporting doctors and paid NHS hirelings voted to continue with three
hours of meaningless platform presentations.
Graham Durham,newly elected Secretary of Brent NHS Patients Campaign,said
'
The NHS is notorious for ignoring patient views and holding events
which prevent open debate. This was the worst example yet with NHS
bureaucrats earning over £200,000 a year desperately whipping NHS staff
to vote to prevent open debate on the controversial proposals
to close Central Middlesex hospital and deny NHS patients their
opportunity to voice their opposition.
Whilst
some of the ideas in Shaping ..are based on sound principles of locally
available services they are to be achieved only by decimation of
hospital services across NW London.The preferred option of Tory GP Mark
Spencer,Medical Director for NW London, was announced as the run down of Ealing, Charing Cross and Central Middlesex Hospitals.
The
fight to save these hospitals starts now ..Brent NHS Patients Campaign
is supporting the public meeting at Harlesden Methodist Church on 13
June (7.30pm) called by campaigners across NW London to prevent the
destruction of these hospitals.
We invite all NHS staff opposed to this butchery of services in the poorest areas of NW London to join this campaign'
