There has been much local concern about the possible closure of the Unit / Hub at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton. A petition attracted 9000+ signatories – at the last count.

Sarah Olney, MP has now reported:

As some residents will know, the function and scope of the Enhanced Primary Care Hub in Roehampton, previously known as the Queen Mary’s Minor Injuries Unit, is under review.

While the Enhanced Primary Care Hub has altered since the pandemic to become a booking system, the facility is pivotal in reducing the already stressed A&E departments and GP practices in the area, while the nurses at the unit work tirelessly to see patients at a quick and efficient rate.

I have written to the Managing Director of St George’s University Hospital’s Trust to emphasise these points, as well as penning a letter to the Secretary of State for Health, Wes Streeting MP, to request his attention to this matter and to ask for reassurances that the unit will not be closed.
