Under new proposals from the Labour Government to save money in the London NHS, some hospitals in south London will be downgraded and lose major services like Accident & Emergency (A&E) and maternity.

A leaked report suggests that Mayday A&E is one of those at risk.

In previous re-organisations Mayday has already lost out to St George’s in Tooting on having acute trauma and hyper-acute stroke units: now A&E is under threat.

We believe that the additional journey time to alternative A&E Departments will inevitably put lives at risk. We think that the best interest of Croydon is served by the retention of Mayday A&E and we urge the Government, through this petition, to think again. If elected, a future Conservative Government will immediately stop the review of clinical services at the Mayday – including the A&E unit.

Please sign our petition online if you agree that lives and health will be put at risk if this vital service is removed and Mayday downgraded. Should you need to, you can download a larger petition form to get friends and neighbours to sign here.
