North Central London NHS's view of the Future

Bearing in mind that the NCL NHS plans only came to light as the result of a leak, here's a PowerPoint presentation (attached) of their vision. Despite there being 7 options, the actuality only concerns 3 hospitals, as the options for The Royal Free Hospital, University College Hospital, and Chase Farm Hospital remain the same throughout.

OUT OF THE 7 OPTIONS FOR HOSPITAL SERVICES IN 6 HOSPITALS.

IN EACH OF THE 7 OPTIONS :

THE ROYAL FREE , ALWAYS HAS MAJOR ACUTE SERVICES

UCLH, ALWAYS HAS MULTI SPECIALIST ACUTE SERVICES

CHASE FARM , ALWAYS HAS URGENT CARE AND ELECTIVE SERVICES

NO ALTERNATIVE CHOICE IS OFFERED.

OPTION 1 HAS BOTH BARNET AND NORTH MID REMAINING AS DGH’s

I am concerned as to how the following will be achieved for Harringay by way of these proposals:

"In particular, we will improve health outcomes by addressing health inequalities within our population, focusing on our most deprived communities." NCL NHS

An opportunity to question NCL NHS & NHS Haringey about these proposals will be available on Thursday, March 4 at Greig Academy, Hornsey High Street
