Earlier today in the House of Commons at Business Questions, Andrew Rosindell M.P., Member of Parliament for Romford, asked the Leader of the House, The Rt Hon. Lucy Powell M.P., whether time could be allotted for a debate on the urgent need of support for Queen's Hospital's A&E Department.
Andrew visited the hospital only a matter of weeks ago and saw first hand the difficulties that staff are being confronted by. More on which can be read here.
The Leader of the House will know that Queen’s Hospital is based in Romford. It serves the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. I was proud to visit the hospital recently to see its amazing work around the clock with people who have suffered a stroke, who come from a huge radius, from the midlands to the south-east. The one problem with our local hospital is that the A&E department is completely overstretched. People are waiting on trollies, sometimes for 24 hours, which is unacceptable. Will the Leader of the House arrange for the Minister responsible for hospitals to visit Queen’s Hospital with me, and will she arrange for a debate in the House in Government time on that vital topic, which really affects my constituents?
