Health bosses are drawing up proposals to radically change the way health services in our area are provided. These include the potential downgrading of the North Middlesex Hospital to ‘local hospital’ status. This means, amongst other drastic changes, that full 24 hours Accident and Emergency (A&E) services would end.

Out of hours, there would be no emergency treatment. Therefore, local residents will have to travel further in emergencies - adding valuable minutes when they matter most.
If an ambulance is called to your home for a significant proportion of people, their closest A&E is at the North Middlesex.

As a borough, we are already poorly serviced for emergency hospital services - without a single unit in Haringey itself. We are not opposed to local health services being more efficient, but we will not accept any cuts in the services at our closest hospital.

Local people have yet to be given any say on these proposals;  however, one of the the options includes that the North Middlesex could be downgraded to a ‘local’ hospital. As part of the plans there could be improvements for the North Mid, but while the potential for cuts remain on the table we must act
now.

We must make it absolutely clear that, as a community, we will not accept any closure of the North Middlesex’s Accident & Emergency or a reduction of the services provided there. We must be loud and clear - please complete the petition to show your support.
