Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Lammy writes about GP provision in the borough
COMMENT: ‘Tottenham’s GP shortage is deeply worrying - but there is... in the Journal, and xref on his Facebook page
Both are open for comments. As he's not popped up in the discussion about politicians using HoL for ideas exchange, I thought I'd give you all this chance to correspond with him.
[My comments on his FB seem to mysteriously disappear quite often though]

90% of those are UKIP spammers and you're saying YOURS get deleted, Pam? That FB page is certainly an example of why a politician might be put off social media.
It would certainly be interesting to hear his views on the St Ann's situation. Or is his position already known?

I think you can make an informed judgement on Mr Lammy's views on "St Anns" by reading this. (sorry Pam).

I agree with Mr Lammy but would say it seems to be a borough wide problem.
It's not the level care you receive which is a problem (although I appreciate it may be for some) but it's accessing that care in the first place.

Yes, when you friend Lammy on FB, and you post a question or comment that isn't praising him, you are immediately unfriended! Thats our David!

To be fair, I think it's his office.

His office operates on his instructions. The cranky receptionist at the doctor's is there because the doctor doesn't want you bothering them, not because of poor staff training!

Heh, that's not what my doc tells me (though tbh it's been a while so not sure who that is anymore).

Same here, was it Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah Annabel who?
We need a little time to think it over, we need a little space for a thousand beds...
I had a little time to think it over, I had a little courage to call it off, we need a little time.

I don't mind the od disagreement, it can flesh out your thoughts.

Or Baklava! like the recipes on The Great British Bake Off, I thought some of the fusion that was going on was great, all the flavours were there, just needed the right chemistry.

But unless I've read it wrong, they tried to open a new surgery at the new towers at Tottenham Hale, but could not recruit any GPs to work there. So it's become a dialysis unit.
This is slightly odd as most of the people in those towers are not among those from the Old Tottenham with disproportionately bad health - those flats were sold, not rented, apart from the student blocks. Could it be Tottenham's reputation precedes it, regardless of the social cleansing that's the Council's plan?
