Last night our hospital chiefs and doctors made a decision to proceed forward with plans to terminate A&E facility at King George Hospital. Dr Mike Gill who attended the meeting we arranged in Somerville Hall in Chadwell has spoken in favour of the termination. Read more here:

We have organised a protest on the 29th of January that will leave from Little Heath Green and end up in Ilford Town Centre.
The event will start at 12:00 at Little Heath Green (near hospital) and will hopefully arrive at 14:00 in Ilford Town Centre. Please aim to arrive for 11:00!
If you would like to join the planning committee please make contact.
Our first planning meeting will be held on the 4th January 2011 at 19:00. Come to 57 Green Lane Ilford.
