After a debate between Dr Mark Spencer of NW London NHS and Graham Durham of the Brent Patients Campaign, Brent LINk members and any public attending, voted to oppose the closure of Central Middlesex A&E. There were two abstentions and no votes against.
In the course of the debate Dr Spencer repeatedly failed to answer Graham Durham's request for him to explain why he had stated in a BBC interview before the consultation began that four Accident and Emergency units would have to close in NW London. Dr Spencer also admitted that despite the rise in the number of children in Brent schools and the importance of child health, that schools, headteachers and governing bodies had not been consulted.
There will be another chance for the public to make their views known when the 'Shaping a Healthier Future' roadshow comes to Harlesden Methodist Church on Saturday September 29th. The Q&A session will be from 11am until 12 noon.
Will Sarah Teather MP come and hear what her constituents have to say about the proposals so that she can champion their views in the House of Commons?

How many voted for?
It wasn't a very well attended meeting. Probably about 18-20 voted to keep Central Middlesex A&E open. I was not in position to count them. Notes were taken at the meeting so should be in them when they are published.
