I am absolutely delighted to report that I have this week heard from Yvette Cooper, Labour’s health secretary, that our campaign for a new A&E at Queen’s Hospital has been successful!
She’s committed over £40 million to rebuilding the A&E, refurbishing the children’s emergency department, and putting new digital systems in to speed things up.
This news is such a boost for our local community and will mean an expanded A&E that can see more people, a better environment for kids, faster access for patients and better conditions for staff.
If you have been to the A&E recently you will know how desperately needed this is.
On my visits throughout the year I have seen for myself an old A&E struggling to manage demand at the end of last winter and the pressure that our incredible, hardworking NHS staff have been under.
This is a Labour Government investing in our NHS to make sure that it is fit for the future and there for all of us whenever we need it, free at the point of use.
I want to take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you to everyone who has been part of the campaign – whether that’s signing or sharing my petition, support from other local Labour MPs Jas Athwal and Margaret Mullane, right up to the leadership of our local NHS trust for a strong bid - without which this wouldn’t have happened.
Together, we have demonstrated the strength of feeling across our community and helped get us to the right decision for Queen’s Hospital and the people it serves.
I’m so thrilled.
When I first became your MP, I promised to save King George A&E - and we did.
At the last election, I said we’d campaign for a new A&E at Queen’s - and we’ve won.
Being our local MP has always been about making a difference for our community.
I’m really proud of this.
This will save lives.
I will of course keep you updated on the timings for the scheme and on progress as it unfolds as we look forward to seeing a brand new A&E right on our doorstep.
Thank you once again for your support and, as ever, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time by emailing: wes@redbridgelabour.org.uk or by calling my office on 020 3475 7901.
- Wes Streeting is Labour MP for Ilford North.
