Residents urged to attend Whittington A&E public meeting on 4 March

Lynne

Featherstone MP will be hosting a public meeting about the threat to the Whittington’s A&E, on

Thursday 4 March, at Greig City Academy.

Rachel Tyndall, Chair of the North Central London

Review Panel, and Richard Sumray,  Chair of NHS

Haringey, will also be attending.The meeting will give local people the

chance to question the representatives and make their views heard.

“Local residents need to get a chance to put their concerns about

the future of our A&E directly to the people in charge," says Featherstone.  "The

hospital bosses need to hear how strongly we feel about these threats." 

The

meeting will begin at 8pm in the school’s assembly hall (access from

Hillfield Avenue). Alternatively, if you would like a question asked on

your behalf, email reporter Elizabeth Pears with your question.

Hospital

on Saturday 27 February at 12 noon. She  encourages everyone concerned

about the future of the hospital's A&E department to come along and

show support. "Please come along both to the march on the 27th, and to

the

meeting on the 4th March. Join us and make your voice heard - together

we can fight this!”
