Charing Cross Hospital
At the Borough Council meeting held on Tuesday 22nd November 2016, Hounslow Council passed a motion tabled by the Labour administration to reaffirm the Council’s support for acute services including A&E to remain at both Ealing Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital.
The motion, seconded by the Leader of the Council, Cllr Steve Curran, was fully supported by the Tory group and refers to a statement recently released by five west London borough councils (Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, Harrow and Brent) acknowledging the serious concerns raised by Ealing Council and Hammersmith and Fulham Council with regard to the threat of closure of their A&Es.
Reacting after the meeting, the Leader of the Council, Cllr Steve Curran, said: “I am delighted that the Tory opposition group fully supported our motion and it will send out a clear message of solidarity with our neighbouring boroughs.
It is essential that both local government and the NHS work together collaboratively, especially at a time of financial cuts imposed by the Tory government, to ensure that we provide the best possible service for our residents, particularly those groups more at risk, such as the elderly.”
