Description:
The NHS is inviting residents to attend a roadshow about its controversial plans to downgrade hospitals in the area.

People attending the 'Shaping a healthier future' event will be able to learn more about the consultation, ask questions, and have their say on the proposals which went out to public consultation on 2 July.

The consultation’s favoured option would see Ealing, Central Middlesex, Hammersmith and Charing Cross hospitals all lose their A&E departments as well as a range of other clinical services.

All political parties on Ealing Council oppose the proposals and councillors are urging residents to get behind the campaign to Save Our Hospitals by signing a petition and responding to the NHS consultation.

Council leader Julian Bell said: "As a council we unanimously oppose these plans which, if agreed, would dramatically reduce hospital services in the area and leave three London boroughs without A&E departments and other major hospital services."

"We need people power to defeat these plans so I would urge as many people as possible to attend this event and make their views known."

"We are asking people who live, work or visit the area to sign our petition to oppose these proposals and Save Our Hospitals."
