Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Stop St Ann's Sell-off Meeting Organised
From the Haringey Needs St Ann's Campaign:
Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust want to sell off two-thirds of NHS land at St Ann’s to property developers. But neither the Trust nor Haringey Council have done a proper assessment to see what health services
Haringey people need now and in the future. Already people travel miles to the nearest casualty department, residents can’t get a GP appointment and mental health services at St Ann’s are buckling under the strain.
Ten thousand new homes planned for Haringey will add to this pressure.
What we want
Residents are calling for:
- A walk-in urgent care centre Haringey people make the second highest number of hospital visits in London—but to hospitals outside the borough.
- A new GP pracce on the St Ann’s site. Child health centre A centre uni$ng health and social services could prevent another tragedy like Baby P.
- Improved mental health services As well as acute beds parents need better primary care, outpatient facilities and aftercare.
What you can do
Come to the public meeting :
Thursday, 4 September, 7.00 pm at Chestnuts Community Centre
280 St Ann’s Road, N15 5BN

I think this is very important - to emphasise that new housing needs new support infrastructure, particularly in health services.

Yes, but this is borough-wide, and also impacts on users of our nearest (not local) hospitals in Hackney, Islington, Camden and Enfield.
Public enquiry needed, not just a planning application sneaking in under the wire.

Has anyone been to their "surgeries"? Sometimes we forget the correct democratic process....

4th of September is a Thursday not a Monday... I notice the facebook page also has the same error.

This is a crucial issue for us all. Have you seen this article posted by Pamish elsewhere? Title "N Middlesex Hospital hit by influx of 40,000 extra patients after neighbouring A&E closes."* At a local meeting a MH social worker spoke of patients being bussed up north because of lack of local beds. I will be at this meeting on the 4th. The health needs of Haringey residents must be the basis of all decision-making by Haringey Council.

Only 330 have signed the petition. 8000+ on HoL.
May not do anything, but then again it might, if the whole of Haringey signs it. We all stand to lose. Even if you think you're fit + healthy, do you want neighbours who have less access to decent health care?

Great! can you (all who read this) speak with friends/neightbours etc? Time is running out.
What was the song "you don't know what you've got till its gone"? Some of us do.

Think of what it could and should be, a centre of excellence, look at the Cold Stores at St Pancras now a leading Arts University attracting people from around the world.
St Ann's has two bus routes, three tubes, two overland links and one BR station, Tottenham Hale provides links to an international airport, as does the Picadilly Line, Wayne Hemmingway uses a collage approach to master planning, get online research and a plan for best practice will reveal itself. Wayne's specialism is textiles and vintage, his wife is an architect so he has put his hand to designing living spaces, we can to.
Have aspirations for our health facilities, St Ann's isn't dead, give it life and fight hard, this should be Labour's Legacy, or any other other party, we all have a health, mental wealth, get thinking, the council should not accept the first plan as the only option, it needs to be reviewed and scrutinised further, (by a long shot), it will affect us all for generations to come, and can't be retrofitted. Act now.
