Save the Margaret Centre

  • The Margaret Centre is a specialist inpatient unit which provides end of life and palliative care. While similar to a hospice it is run by the NHS and is part of Whipps Cross Hospital. It's widely praised by those whose loved ones have spent their last days there.
  • But when the new hospital is built, the Margaret Centre will be demolished, and the land sold for housing.
  • The North East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a new health organisation which is responsible for commissioning end of life and palliative care services. It is doing a review of options for end of life care in the Whipps Cross catchment area. The options will be put to us - the public - in a public consultation in the Autumn 2023
 
Action4Whipps is campaigning for the ICB to include in the options the re-provision of the Margaret Centre on the new Whipps Cross Hospital site. But there's a real risk it won't be one of the options.
If that happens, we'll lose the Margaret Centre.
So please sign & share widely
