A panel of politicians and healthcare experts will be taking questions from concerned Chiswick residents in February about the future of Charing Cross Hospital.

Chiswick's MP, Mary Macleod, will join Andy Slaughter, Hammersmith MP, Dr Mark Spencer, medical director for NHS North West London, community matron Anne Drinkell and Murad Qureshi, Labour GLA member as they discuss with Chiswick residents who are concerned about what will happen to the hospital and what provisions there are for emergency healthcare.

The meeting has been organised by Chiswick Homefields Labour Party candidate, Crispin Flintoff, who has worked tirelessly to bring members of all parties together so local people can get a clear understanding at what is happening with Charing Cross Hospital and its emergency care.

Mr Flintoff said: "I don't think we have had a definitive answer to the very important question of what is happening to our local hospitals under the NHS North West London's proposals.

"For people in Chiswick it would be catastrophic if Charing Cross closed its A&E as it would mean a long journey to West Middlesex Hospital, which could take over an hour - and I dread to think what the waiting time will be there."

The meeting on February 15 will be held at the George IV pub from 12pm until 2pm.
