DR.MATTHEW OLDFIELD PART OF STRONG DELEGATION

While there are those amongst us who still question and try to find answers to what really happened in PDL , for those who do know, and were involved on that fateful night, it is an event of the past. Life goes on. There has not been any news as to what became of the tapas 7, except from the local paper where Dr.Oldfield lives.

Dr.Oldfield is part of a strong team delegation trying to save Kingston Hospital.

Kingston Hospital under threat

The future of Kingston Hospital is under discussion after leaked evidence from a confidential south-west London-wide review of the NHS backed up MPs claims that closure of the thriving A+E and maternity units was being considered.

Out of 18 options decided on before Christmas by clinicians carrying out the review, 16 involved the loss of a major service at Kingston.

Liberal Democrat MPs have launched a "Save Kingston Hospital Campaign" while Tories say they are not convinced of the threat, but are promising to halt the review if David Cameron comes to power.

To make up your mind keep visiting the Surrey Comet for all the latest news on the hospital.

If you have an opinion or a question you would like to put to the NHS about the review, email Surrey Comet chief reporter David Lindsell at dlindsell@london.newsquest.co.uk
