So, there’s currently a lull before the next round of storms surrounding the Essex Success Regime. They are suspiciously quiet bearing in mind an imminent public consultation on the restructure of our local acute hospital services.

Please stay engaged with the campaign. Our primary focus will be to ensure that ANY changes to our local hospital and community health services are CLINICALLY EVIDENCED to be in the best interests of the patient. We want to know that the ‘on the floor’ Clinicians have been fully engaged and clinically support any future proposals announced which change patient care pathways. If they don’t support those changes then nor will we – and we aren’t talking about the Clinicians like Dr.Celia Skinner et al who are employed by the #SuccessRegime either!

The complete lack of transparency surrounding the proposals for A&E downgrades left us without any doubt that CEO Claire Panniker and her Success Regime team will attempt to push through a level of ‘change for change sake’, in order to save the £££ they’ve been tasked to recoup.

#SaveSouthendNHS will be closely monitoring throughout. #PatientsNotProfit

Come to our public meeting and ask questions. As always, you’ll receive the ‘no-spin’ facts from us.
