Save+the+Whittington+-+Joint+Boroughs+Campaign+Planning+Meeting

Monday 14 December - 7pm ** Whittington  Park Community Centre Yerbury Road, Upper Holloway N19 (5 minutes walk from Holloway Road, via Rupert Road). //Called by Camden Keep Our NHS Public and the Defend Haringey's Health Services coalition, backed by the 'Save The Whittington ' public meeting//
 * Save the Whittington - Joint boroughs campaign planning meeting

On Wednesday over 220 people packed into a hastily arranged public meeting called in response to the threat to close the Accident & Emergency Department at the Whittington Hospital.

Despite a half hour long 'explanation' by the head of the North West London NHS on why the Whittington should be downgraded, those at the meeting were absolutely livid and unanimously opposed. More than 25 of those present made moving and powerful speeches against the proposals.

The feeling of the meeting was to mount a massive campaign linking the concerned people and organisations in all the affected boroughs, to defend the Whittington and all the other North London hospitals facing similar threats (including the North Middx, Barnet General and Chase Farm). To that end the Chair (Jeremy Corbyn MP) called on people to attend the joint-boroughs campaign meeting on Monday...

We call on all those who want to see a united, inclusive and effective campaign to save the Whittington to come along on Monday.
