A major public consultation was held between November 2009 and March
2010 to hear people’s views on ideas for improving hospital services. To
read more about the
analysis and results of the consultation please click here.
Clinicians are now reviewing and considering the feedback from
consultation and are working closely with other GPs, local authorities,
doctors, midwives and other health professionals to further develop our
proposals.
Recommendations on complex vascular surgery
As part of the consultation, Health for north east London proposed
performing complex vascular surgery at The Royal London and Queen’s
Hospital which will lead to better, safer care. Most respondents agreed
with the proposal; 61per cent of individuals and organisations who
responded to the consultation questionnaire supported consolidated
complex vascular surgery.
Following further local discussion, clinicians in north east London
believe that the proposal for vascular surgery will result in the best
outcomes for patients – saving lives and reducing disability. Following
further engagement with local GPs and local authorities, a joint
committee of primary care trusts in outer north east London is expected
to consider the recommendations on complex vascular surgery, and all the
feedback received during the consultation, at a meeting held in public
in October 2010. This meeting would only consider changes to complex
vascular surgery.
