From Harrow Lib Dems
Closure of Northwick Park Hospital Hydrotherapy Pool
The Harrow LibDems are concerned about the closure of Northwick Park Hospital Hydrotherapy Pool
Northwick Park Hospital recently announced the closure of their Hydrotherapy Pool.
The announcement appears to have come as a surprise to many including many of patients that have benefitted from the pool.
The Chair of Harrow LibDems has submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to LNWH NHS Trust to ask what for records of decision making relating to the closure of the Hydrotherapy pool.
“We know that patients will be concerned about this matter and we are doing everything we can to find out answers from the Hospital management team on this matter” said Joseph Gaunt, Chair of Harrow LibDems. “It is vital to have facilities like these in our community to help people in recovery”.

ReplyDeleteChief Executive of London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust says "I can assure you that we did proactively advise local MPs and health scrutiny council leads of the pool’s closure at an early stage" - when was this exactly, it must be documented so why not provide proof of this claim???
And if this is true how come MP Barry Gardiner didn’t start asking questions before???
And where are our other local MPs in Brent and Harrow - why aren't they fighting against this poor decision which will put more pressure on the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and will mean longer journeys for physically vulnerable patients.
