This was the wrong decision but it could have been so much worse.

It is thanks to thousands of people who wrote, emailed, attended public meetings, and marched, that this decision was not for the full closure of Lewisham A&E. The resulting savings from the reduction in size of Lewisham A&E (without compromising clinical need) will be so difficult that it is likely to end up with no actual reduction (although the costs and the investment in neighbouring hospitals may be completely mis-targeted expenditure).

Just like the recommendations from Kershaw, the decision from Jeremy Hunt makes very little sense. Rather than taking the sensible decision to reject any chance to Lewisham, he has tried to fudge the issue. This means the people of Lewisham now have a prolonged fight to protect the hospital from each service reduction over the course of years rather than months.

It is such a waste of time and effort, when the hospital is functioning well and has had significant investment in A&E and maternity in the last few years. There was no need to make such changes to Lewisham hospital and it punishes the success of a good performing hospital.
