As regular readers of this website will know, we at KOSHH are not normally prone to announcing days of national pride.

Trust plans “third world” hospital bed provision
The Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust are working on plans to “Reconfigure” hospital services in our area, and they are due to announce these in June 2016.

Update on Blurry Estates Review Pictures
We have today received the following email from the Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust. We assume that this is in response to this article.

KOSHH supports junior doctors on strike day #5 (06/04/2016)
KOSHH Campaigners went to today’s picket line outside St Helier Hospital to support the junior doctors in their struggle and were joined by representatives of Merton & Sutton TUC. Once more the weather was foul, but it’ll take more than inclement weather to stop this group of determined folk. The level of support from the general public was […]
Press: KOSHH in the news, A&E waiting time targets.
The Epsom & St Helier NHS Trust have missed the government target for A&E waiting times every month since August 2015. Until recently, the government target for the percentage of A&E patients to be seen within 4 hours was 98%, but in June 2010, the Con-Dem government relaxed this target to 95%. There are a number […]
