Whittington A&E - Politicians responses - Andrew Lansley (Con), Shadow Health Secretary

Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley

Published: 6 May, 2010

“THE Conservative Party are determined to stop the forced closure of A&E and maternity departments and to make sure local GPs and their patients are the ones who take the decisions on issues like this. Under a Conservative government, the A&E at the Whittington will be safe and secure in the future. This is a welcome U-turn by Andy Burnham. I and many others called for a stop to the flawed plans by NHS London to shut down local hospital units months ago and he accused me of resisting change. He has now completely caved in.”
