Questions for BHRUT board

These 2 questions relate to research for a second Judicial Review by a local community group about the Goodmayes Tesco development.

Q1 Would the Chief Executive, in the light of the following extract from freedom of information requests regarding the The Tesco Goodmayes proposed development.

“Based on the proposed development of 1,379 homes, local patient numbers would rise considerably, increasing the average GP patient ratio across local practices to approximately 1:4,211. This represents a clear and material worsening of access to health services.”

write to the Leader of Redbridge Council requesting that he write to Tescos and Weston Homes to make a 106 Health Contribution to either fund a GP surgery on the site or use the funding towards a new A&E department at Queens?

(the full text of the freedom of information request is at the link Email 05.11.2025.pdf I won't be reading out the email in full just the extract above.)

My second question is:

Q2 Can the Chief Executive tell me if either the GLA or Redbridge Council have written to this board asking if the increase in population proposed by the substantial number of developments going up in your catchment area means your hospitals need more beds and staff?
