We are an independent group of local residents campaigning for the new hospital at Whipps Cross to be truly fit for purpose. Please DM if you would like to join
The government's promise of 40 new hospitals, including Whipps Cross, is on the rocks and the future of the Margaret Centre hospice is in jeopardy. To find out more and join our campaign, email [email protected]
The Margaret Centre is a very rare and precious service. Like a hospice, it provides specialist inpatient palliative and end of life care. It is fully funded by the NHS, so it doesn’t have to rely on fundraising to exist #SavetheMargaretCentre#SaveOurNHS
We told our councillors and Barts managers years ago what the National Audit Office has now exposed: that our proposed new hospital will be too small and overcrowded - see recent newspaper article: https://t.co/Lrgx3iCcsw #SavetheMargaretCentre#SaveOurNHS
We now have over 6,000 signatures on our petition to #SavetheMargaretCentre. We plan to hand it in to the North East London Integrated Care Board at the end of the month. Please sign if you haven’t already + share w/ friends/family/colleagues: https://t.co/YyzNzYk2gC #SaveOurNHS

Good to meet with shadow health secretary Wes Streeting. We discussed the Margaret Centre, the proposed cut in beds at Whipps Cross, the safety of the proposed high-rise modular buildings, and the sell-off of public land in London #whippscross#SaveOurNHS
We asked Mr Streeting to: 1. Raise the proposed bed cuts and Margaret Centre closure in Parliament, 2. Include a pledge to increase beds in the next Labour manifesto, 3. Visit the Margaret Centre, 4. Work with other MPs with pathfinder hospitals in their constituencies
