Public meeting Ward forum 22nd February proposed changes to health provision
Thhe next Acton central ward forum which will be held on 22nd February at St. Mary's church hall beginning at 7.00pm. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there. This is important.Ealing CCG will be presenting an early draft of their proposals for changing primary and secondary health care in the Borough. You may want to hear what they have to say and have the opportunity to ask questions.be Amongst the proposals are : - a radical shift from care in hospital to care provided through new clinics, one of which is proposed for Acton, possibly around the site of the present Acton Health centre.- A new frailty unit at Ealing Hospital focusing on older persons who may need a bed while diagnosis is done or care is arranged.- A "local" A&E at Ealing hospital with diagnostic services. Patients will still be seen urgently as now. - A target of more patients given appropriate care and medication faster allowing a reduction in acute beds over time. - A diagnostic and 'stabilisation' admissions centre at Ealing hospital for patients needing hospital observation for up to seven days before being transferred for longer term care.These proposals are still at an early stage but we believe that you may want to hear them for yourselves. Do try and attend this public meeting. Ward forums are for everyone
