Coming together concerned residents of Ilford opposed to potential loss of local health services!
Don't mess with King George Hospital!
Rajeshri tries to enter 10 Downing Street!
Wilson knocks and waits for a response!
Success at last our petition is submitted! 
All on best behaviour - well he does have a gun!
Yes sir!Today- Monday 22nd March 2010, was the final day for the consultation period our Local Redbridge Primary Care Trust has set for the diabolical Northeast London Healthcare Proposal. Your Green Party team for Ilford South, arranged a delivery of our petition to 10 Downing Street and this time we took a very diverse Community group, including many of the groups that most need retention of existing services.
Our delegation consisted of:
Naomi Chowdhry- My two year old daughter who narrowly survived a misjudgement by the Queens Maternity staff on New Years Day 2008. She represents our next generation those that will have to face the consequence of loss of A&E facility for longer than we will. Already Childrens A&E has moved to Queens hospital!
Tony Parker- a well known campaigner in Redbridge who is a wheelchair user and represents one of the most vulnerable groups in our community.
Juliet Chowdhry- my wife and Green Party Candidate for Chadwell. Juliet is 5 months pregnant and is concerned about the potential loss of maternity facility at our local hospital.
Reverened George Hargreaves - the Leader of the Christian Party - his wife has recently had 3 brain tumours and a seizure and they were disturbed when recently advised that they would have to travel to Queens Hospital - even though our hospital was 1 minute from their house and his wife was in extreme discomfort!
Rajeshri Chouhan - Green Party candidate for Seven Kings - she will be producing the minutes for our recent KGH public consultation held at Somerville Hall. Her nan is in Hospital after having suffered an acute stroke - as such she is very concerned about extended travel times to hospital -during such conditions.
Paula Watson - Christian Party Prospective Parlimentary Candidate for Rainham
Wilson Chowdhry - Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Ilford South.
The event went well and we have now submitted our petitions. We shall share any response received and hope that our actions today and the input from local people - will have a positive effect on altering a decision that could cost thousands of lives.
The Christian Party and the Green Party by collaborating in this way have shown that parties with different views and agendas, can work together for the good of the community. Let's hope our example will lead others to do the same.
