Mike O'Brien visits King George Hospital with good news!

Mike and Wilson!
-
In the image above you can see Wilson Chowdhry with MP Mike O'Brien - the Minister of State for Health Services. Today MP Mike O'Brien has given the people of Redbridge a temporary reprieve. An announcement was made that the much despised Northeast London Healthcare proposals - that if successful will see an end to A&E facility - are to be considered before an independent review panel!
-
This news comes just before an election and I cannot help but think, that the decision will not be reached till after the General Election. I have a feeling that the decision has been engineered to benefit certain political parties. However, as contrived as this whole event may seem, we cannot let this subtract from the hope it provides for our community!
-
This is good news for all those that have joined our campaign and the many others against the Diabolical scheme. It now means that the decision to proceed with the plan will now not be skewered by NHS or Government bias, that is more often than not, based upon cost savings, rather than health and welfare of local people.

This is not an excuse to put down your banners and I would implore all residents to continue the fervent activity, that has resulted in this decision. There a protest organised for the 17th April is still proceeding. The event will start from 13:00 at the green on Little Heath (Chadwell Heath Lane/Barley Lane Junction) Moreover, we still need to convince the Independent Panel to make the right decision!

  1. For some reason best known to yourself you seem to have omitted to mention that the Minister also met Mike Gapes, Margaret Hodge, Lee Scott, and Keith Prince. Selective amnesia, perhaps?

  2. BTW Mike O'Brien is not a medical man, nor does he appear to have had a doctorate conferred upon him.

  3. Hi Morris, There were a number of councillors and MP's in attendance at the meeting....? I hd not forgotten about them....the important thing was to highlight the positive news.

    Thank you for the correction about the title of Mike O'Brien.
