Chelsea&Westminster Maternity and Paediatrics under threat! Post Reply

Dear worried people about C&W

Please don't fret. C&W won't close, it will be Charing Cross that loses its A&E Dept and becomes a local hospital, after loads of shenanigans, but that is what will happen (remember, Charing Cross doesn't currently have Maternity or any Paediatrics...)

Queen Charlottes in north Hammersmith, although absolutely fantastic, doesn't have anything like enough space to take over all of the C&W births. Everyone in the know knows that C&W is a fixed point, for that reason if no other.

Quite new to this site, but will do - am horrified they are even considering it!! I had my little boy there last year and was seriously ill after, which almost resulted in my having to go into intensive care!! I was in the maternity ward for 2 weeks and I cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention I (and my family) received during what was an immensely scary and worrying time for all. If we have another I will definitely want to return there!!
