You might be forgiven, with all the talk of the dire economic climate, in forgetting that the Health and Social Care Bill is still being debated through the House of Lords.
A recent e mail from the Socialist Health Assoc warns of very worrying increases in waiting times within our local NHS. Brent NHS has a 54% increase in the number of patients waiting more than 18 weeks since May 2010. The figure for Harrow is even worse the increase is 75%. You can check out figures for the whole Country at the following link.

Even more worrying is the disintegration of the local NHS or PCT’s before Parliament has given consent to the Bill.
If you know of anyone locally in Fryent waiting for urgent treatment within the NHS please let us know.
