This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Stop King George Hospital being downgraded to an urgent care centre.
Redbridge could be left without an accident and emergency unit if proposals go ahead – leaving 300,000 out of reach of emergency medical care.
More details
Under the North East London Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP), the A&E at King George Hospital in Goodmayes, will be downgraded to an urgent care centre, with changes proposed to come into effect by summer 2019. Emergency cases in the borough will instead be taken to Queen's Hospital in Romford, in Havering, or Whipps Cross University Hospital, in Waltham Forest. Whipps Cross was rated as "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission in December last year. Profit before Patients.
