There was an interesting FOI request which resulted in the following response from the Department of Health:

Quote:
In response to point five, the figure on reduced mortality used in the TSA’s report was derived from work undertaken by London Health Programmes, considering the difference in mortality rates for patients admitted as an emergency on a weekday and those admitted at the weekend. This work demonstrated that patients admitted to hospital as an emergency at the weekend in London had a significantly increased risk of dying compared to those admitted on a weekday. This is also seen nationally. Independently verified analysis showed that a minimum of 500 lives in London could be saved every year if the mortality rate for patients admitted at the weekend was the same as for those admitted on a weekday. For southeast London, this equates to around 100 lives.


So according to the Department of Health this figure of 100 lives is about admitting patients at weekends. It has absolutely nothing to do with the closure or downgrading of A&E departments. To conclude that South London residents will be safer or that 100 lives will be saved as a result of these changes is clearly a distortion of the analysis to attempt to justify the downgrading of Lewisham A&E and the closure of maternity services at this well performing hospital.
