The ambulance journey could take 45 minutes from Haringey, (!), but this was explained to us as OK or better because the patient would be stabilised and would receive special, better treatment at UCH which would not be ofered at the Whittington (anyway) Please, correct me if I misunderstod the meeting, but I would deasrly love to see the evidence of this, new, (our) life and death, 45-minute claim!

Thanks for mentioning so many great questions the audience asked. I must say I was shocked by the lack of substance with which Rachell and Richard could back up (or rather: failed to back up) the closure plans.
