The Kingston Hospital petition, with over 15,000 signatures, was handed into 10, Downing Street on 16th March.

This is only the first batch so please continue to encourage people you know to sign the petition, either online or on paper.

Edward Davey says:

"I'm grateful to the thousands who've already signed - and would still encourage more to do so.

"This is the largest local petition I've ever handed in to 10, Downing Street - and this is clearly just the first batch.

"This helps us make it crystal clear to Labour Ministers and NHS London what local people think of the threat to Kingston Hospital.

"They must now know they have got a fight on their hands, if Kingston's A&E and Maternity end up on their final shortlist for closure this October."
