Bid to delay closure of Central Middlesex A&E

At the very last minute Cllr Mary Daly is to move a motion at Brent Full Council tonight calling for a delay in the closing of Central Middlesex A&E.

The unit is due to close on  Wednesday.A demonstration will take place outside the hospital at 10am on Wednesday to make community opposition to the closure.

There are fears that Northwick Park A&E is not yet ready to take patients who would have gone to Central Middlesex and is itself already over-crowded and suffering delays.
