Commenting following the public meeting with NHS bosses about the future of the Whittington A&E on Thursday 4th March, Lynne Featherstone MP said:

“Thank you to the hundreds of residents who came out to have their voices heard. The mood of the meeting with clear, 370 against closure and zero for.

“Speaker after speaker condemned the closure. I am particularly grateful to the many heart-moving personal accounts of how the Whittington had made a difference to their lives.

“I hope NHS bosses will go back to the drawing board and take note of the clear message from our community – the Whittington A&E must stay.”
