Celebrations outside Lewisham Hospital tonight, following the Court of Appeal's ruling today that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt did not have power to implement cuts to maternity and emergency services at Lewisham Hospital. Of course the High Court had ruled to this effect earlier in the year, but the Government had appealed the decision - thankfully without success.

Does this mean that I can finally take down the Save Our A&E box that has been decorating Transpontine for the last year? Maybe I will for now, but Hunt has already said that the ConDem government intends to change the law to give themselves the powers that the Court ruled they don't currently have.

ReplyDeleteOf course not. Don't be naïve transpontine.
