Labour's secret plans to close A&E and Maternity
Local Liberal Democrat MPs Susan Kramer and Edward Davey have vowed to fight plans to close A&E and Maternity services at Kingston Hospital.
Senior NHS staff have blown the whistle on Labour proposals to close Accident and Emergency services and Maternity services at Kingston Hospital.
The two MPs have been told this information by 5 senior NHS staff, including 4 chief executives and 1 senior clinician, at 4 separate meetings.
You can now read leaked pages from the SW London Strategic Plan which was due to be published in December, but was pulled at the last moment.

Debate on Kingston Hospital in the House of Commons
Watch Susan Kramer and Edward Davey taking the debate to Westminster on 8th February.
Susan Kramer says:
“This would gut our local hospital and send local people on far longer journeys to get care.”
“Kingston maternity services currently deliver 6,000 babies a year, and almost every family has used A&E there.”
“With a growing population in our area, we need better and more services not closures.”
Edward Davey says:
“It ought to be unthinkable. Yet it’s been made clear to us that London NHS is actively considering closing Kingston’s A&E and Maternity. This would be totally unacceptable, so we have decided to act now before it becomes a done deal."
"We believe the public have the right to know before the election. Liberal Democrats will fight this at every stage, and have already pledged to have no frontline health cuts like these."

This website was established while Susan Kramer and Edward Davey were Members of Parliament. As Parliament has been dissolved there are no Members of Parliament until after the election on 6th May.
"When A&E was closed at Queen Mary's, the closure of most of the rest of the hospital followed quickly despite many promises. We can't let the same happen to Kingston."
