West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Published:10 April 2009
Let’s get back to basics with new hospitals
• PRIVATE treatment centres are not wanted in the National Health Service. After working for 30 years in the health service I have watched it become fragmented, with private cleaners and builders, and now polyclinics.
This at a time Britain is in deep recession. With two million people unemployed I hope the next government puts the NHS back to basics.
Set up four large general hospital trusts and four large mental hospital trusts in the capital. With an expected eight million residents in the future it needs four good NHS specialist hospitals, supported by local general hospitals, north, south, east and west, each providing care for about two million residents. John Sturman, Enfield
