Whittington Hospital

EDM number 990 in 2012-13, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 29/01/2013.
Categorised under the topic of Health services.

That this House expresses its concern about the proposed sale of large portions of the Whittington Hospital site and the potential loss of staff and beds as part of an overall strategy announcement reported in the local media recently; notes the negative impact this is bound to have on employment and patient care in an area with increasing health needs and a rising population; deplores the complete lack of consultation with elected representatives, the public and hospital staff in the lead up to the announcement; acknowledges that the Whittington is a much loved, needed and well-used district general hospital; and calls on the Government to intervene to ensure there will be sufficient money available to maintain services in Camden, Haringey and Islington.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
