Last night Jim Dowd MP (Lewisham West and Penge), Heidi Alexander MP (Lewisham East) and I met with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to outline our opposition to the proposals to close Lewisham Hospital's A&E and maternity services.
We presented him with a document in which we outlined why the proposals fail the Government's four tests on hospital reconfiguration. You can read the document in full here.
The proposals to close the A&E and maternity services are dangerous and ill-conceived. Destroying a successful hospital by closing vital services is not in the best interests of the people of Lewisham, nor is it financially necessary.
