    Comments: I am currently working in the main theatres here at Lewisham Hospital as a Senior Theatre Practitioner and have done so for over seven years. I along with the rest of our highly skilled and caring team attempt to provide the best care we can to the local population. I would be greatly saddened if the proposed changes took place, as this would either de-skill me or force me to leave the trust in order to maintain my current practice. As a resident of Lewisham, I am horrifiied at the Idea of loosing our A+E as it will take me 45 mins -1.5 hours (depending on traffic) to get to the other A+Es suggested, which as i understand it are pretty hard pushed to manage their current workload both safely and in sufficient waiting times. I have two young boy's who were both born here at Lewisham by C- section, i wouldn't have dreamt of going anywhere else! we have also had to visit A+E on various occasions and have only once felt the wait was longer than reasonable. On each of the other occasions we have been seen and treated and often out in very reasonable time frames. I have been operated on in this hospital 5 times now and have always been thrilled with my care and that of my children. I do strongly suggest another solution is found that does not involve tearing our Lewisham hospital appart.

    Comments: Whilst appreciating the severe fincial difficuties that the TSA has been called to correct I do feel it inappropriate that any decision making overrides any form of localism in health planning. There remain several issues of safety thet the TSA's report brings to the fore. Perhaps the most worring is the lack of authoritative expertise that will be on site at an urgent care centre plus. GP's are very good at dealing with many situations, but working remote from specialist expertise is not a 'pilot' that I feel is wisely adopted in this situation. The patient flows will be towards central London and not Woolwich. This needs to be considered when planning for a reduced number of A&E sites. I do feel there is a huge risk that the people of Lewisham will be significantly disadvantaged by the redesign as it currently stands.

    Comments: There is no way that QEH, PRUH and KCH have the capacity to meet the emergency requirements of Lewisham residents. This will lead to poorer care for Lewisham and also BBG as their residents fight for A&E resources.

    Name: Claire Coughlan on Dec 3, 2012

    Comments: I am a colorectal cancer nurse specialist at Lewisham Hospital. The proposals gravely affect the service that we provide to the local population diagnosed with cancer. We already work closely with our cancer centre and provide and excellent service for our colorectal patients. This patient group is already compelled to travel into to St Thomas' for radiotherapy and every patient survey and focus group that I have conducted over the past 8 years has asked that all services be at Lewisham not at St Thomas'. As a health care professional I can see the need to centralise some services but to remove our A&E and critical care beds will mean that we can no longer provide treatment for colorectal cancer patients. To believe otherwise is naive. There is no capacity at the QE or at GSTT to compensate for this loss, even if it were to be acceptable to the local population. We have a cohesive, clinically effective, responsive, patient focused team that is about to be destroyed by these proposals. This will mean that the safety of patients with colorectal cancer in this area of deprivation is about to put seriously at risk.These proposals are hurried and ill thought out. Please stop them before patient safety is compromised beyond repair.

    Comments: The likely closure of the lewisham hospital AE put unbelievable pressure on the acute services of the QEW. the ordinary patient will suffer. The wait in the ED is already more than 4 hours. I can see the horrible picture which people and patients of Bexley, lewisham and others will face in case closure of the ED at Lewisham hoapital becomes a reality. The closure should not happen.

    Comments: I am seriously concerned that the proposed closure of Lewisham A+E will have not only a deleterious effect on Lewisham residents access to emergency care but that Q Elizabeth Hospital and King's will not be able to cope with cases diverted to them, with also a consequent knock-on effect on Greenwich residents. As for A+E admissions being reduced significantly by more care done in the community this is not borne out by audit of emergency admissions in my own practice. These proposals have not been subjected to adequate evidence-based scrutiny.

    Name: Dr Jacqueline Tolhurst on Dec 4, 2012

    Comments: My patients regularly report long waits at A+E at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and although they feel the staff are doing a good job, it is very apparent that demand completely exceeds capacity. This is confirmed by GP Registrars who have worked in this setting. Maternity is the same - horror stories of midwives too busy to look after women who have just had a stillbirth. So if Lewisham A+E and maternity services close, how on earth will the rest cope? This is dangerous and threatens the NHS by setting it up to fail.

    Comments: I am a nursing sister working on the ICU at Lewisham hospital. Most days our unit is over capacity with critically ill patients. It is a constant struggle trying to accomodate these patients at the moment, where would all of these patients go if Lewisham Hospital where to lose it's critical care unit. We are currently funded for 6 level 3 beds and 8 level 2 beds but it is normal to have 9/10 level 3 patients and 10 level 2 patients, Given the national shortage of these acute beds where would these patients be safely cared for.Mr Kershaw has made no mention of this in his proposals.

    Comments: As a paediatric registrar who works and trains in South East London I know both trusts very well. I have grave concerns about the rationale behind and the plans themselves. I do not feel that the report gives sufficient thought or focus to the needs of children. The two boroughs have a young, deprived and vulnerable population. I am concerned that the proposed changes to acute paediatric services will pose a real and dangerous threat to children and young people in the borough.

I love what i do as a critical care nurse and i dont want to be relocated cause of government plans. Please we ask you to think of all the staff that you are making unemployed.
