Dear Residents

 

New wing for King George Wing Meeting Ilford Town Hall Tonight 8pm 17^th July

 

This a meeting to campaign for a new wing for King George Hospital. King George and Queens Hospitals often have some of the most seriously ill type one 4-hour wait A&E statistics in England.

Research shows long waits in A&E lead to longer stays in hospital and higher death rates. The standard of care seems set to get worse due to the ever-increasing East London population.

An extension to King George is being built with two additional theatres. However, this is not enough to make a significant difference to the A&E performance.  More in-patient beds need to be provided in order to improve care.

We are asking for Redbridge Council to write to Barking Havering and Redbridge University Trust, who manage King George and Queens Hospitals requesting they put in a bid for extra funding to build the new wing.

If you cannot make the meeting but are supportive of the cause, please write to Cllr Athwal, the Leader of Redbridge Council to ask for his support for our campaign.

 

There will be a photo shoot before the new wing for King George Meeting on the 17^th July at 7:15pm outside the site of the proposed Bodgers 42 storey tower, opposite Ilford Railway station to call for safer dual staircases, rather than the single staircase planned.

The new high-rise towers planned will mean a substantial increase in the East London population. It must be right to build additional capacity at the King George Hospital site to cope with the increased population.
