At this difficult time there are still many positives; news of survivors, our amazing NHS staff and the real sense of community as people pull together. So we were delighted\u00a0to recently receive\u00a0a very moving message from Dr Gurj Sandhu of Ealing Hospital<\/strong>\u00a0which you can read in full a little later.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
On the negative side there have been some evident failures of our leaders: on PPE, on testing, on care homes, on delivery of promises and honesty with the public. Of course they have a tough job, but the price of failure is all too clear.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully there has been continuing pressure on the Government to act from NHS staff, politicians, campaigners and the wider community which we need to keep up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Next\u00a0Tuesday 21st April<\/strong>\u00a0there is a \u2018NHS Staff Voices Public Meeting\u2019. NHS Staff Voices is a newly set up part of national campaign \u2018Keep Our NHS Public\u2019 and this is their first ever public meeting. It has a great line-up of speakers. It is open to anyone who wants to \u2018attend\u2019 and a real chance to hear from the frontline –\u00a0more details on how to register are below.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A very moving message to Ealing Save Our NHS from Dr Gurj Sandhu<\/strong>;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
This letter perfectly sums up why our NHS and its staff hold a special place in all our hearts and no more so then at this time of our greatest need. (The picture above shows our Ealing staff in happier times celebrating the NHS 70th Birthday)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Dear Ealing Save Our NHS,<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
These have been the strangest of times but what has filled me with immense pride is the way in which NHS staff have galvanised to support each other in a manner that helps us to support our patients. The situation evolved very rapidly before our eyes with wards rapidly being turned into Covid wards and staff constantly being redeployed to the areas of greatest need. There are few distinctions in our roles as we all do what we can in a clinical space once we have donned PPE. Non clinical staff find ways to support clinical staff with an army of volunteers ready to pick up tasks to make our lives easier.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
We make sure we share positive stories and celebrate those patients who come off mechanical and non invasive ventilation. We are filled with joy as the elderly pull through their illness and go home with a humble smile. We look out for each others welfare and find ways to console each other, even when 2 metres apart. What was once the energy of manic survival instinct has gradually been replaced by a calmer compassionate energy that only comes from NHS staff pulling together to get through a crisis. We might not have seen this crisis before but we\u2019ve certainly got through others.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
We know you have been out there looking out for us and our patients, we see your messages on the roundabouts and the drawings your children send in. We put on the visors you donate, hear you clap, appreciate your thanks and are nourished by your food donations. We thank you all for your unwavering support and look forward to times when we can invite you into your hospital again. In the meantime if you need us we\u2019ll be here.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Best wishes<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

ESON asks Questions of the Trust who manage Ealing Hospital:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
In March we wrote to the London North West University NHS Trust Board (LNWH), which manages Ealing Hospital, to ask a number of questions on the provision of PPE & testing for staff and how the Trust were organising services to deal with virus. To date we have not had any response to our questions and have now followed it up, but are not very hopeful of a reply.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
A copy of our letter is\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Changes at Ealing Hospital<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0Some of you may have heard of changes being made to Ealing Hospital and it is of course worrying. However we have been told that the demands of dealing with Covid-19 mean that for now these changes are needed. All Orthopedic services at Ealing and other hospitals in London have been moved to the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital in Stanmore, no emergency or trauma surgery is taking place at Ealing and their ICU beds have been ‘reconfigured’.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Of course this is not the time to query actions taken to deal with the emergency pressures of Covid-19, nevertheless it\u2019s imperative for the future to keep plugging the importance to our communities of our Ealing Hospital, it\u2019s fantastic staff and it\u2019s acute services.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

A disturbing Report about delayed treatment and child deaths<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this week we were sent an ‘Incident Log’ drawn up by the North Thames Paediatric Group which covers LNWH, Imperial among others. This very disturbing log documents 14 incidents including two deaths and delayed treatment caused by a combination of bad advice from NHS 111, an overstretched London Ambulance Service and parents afraid to take children to hospital.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Working with Tony O’ Sullivan of Keep Our NHS Public,\u00a0this story made it in to the ‘<\/a>Standard<\/a>‘\u00a0and was on the front page of the Guardian. It is pretty shocking!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
There is a similar story emerging in relation to people delaying seeking help when they are having a cardiac arrest and cancelled cancer treatments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
It is no surprise that NHS 111 is failing some patients:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Most people probably assume that NHS 111 is indeed run and staffed by NHS Staff but it is actually run by a private company called SITEL UK. Staff in the call centres are paid barely above the minimum wage and there are many stories that instead of social distancing they are working desk to desk. Just as worrying is that staff in some, if not all parts of the country are only getting 90 minutes training to handle the NHS 111 Covid -19 Helpline!\u00a0Read here.<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Care Homes and home care \u2013 the forgotten crisis:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
On March 27 a desperate plea from the struggling social care sector to Matt Hancock, the Health & Social Care Secretary, made clear that weeks after the endless stream of unrealistic assurances from ministers, there was still an \u201curgent need\u201d for Government to move faster in making PPE available for the adult social care sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
The Local Government Association and the Association of Directors of Social Services wrote jointly to express their concerns:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSufficient supplies that are of acceptable quality are needed immediately. Councils and their provider partners also need concrete assurances about ongoing supplies for the days and weeks ahead.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Of course PPE is not the only problem, many care providers face staff shortages, lack of funds and too few nurses to care for patients being discharged from hospital.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
More on this story\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
PPE Scandal \u2013 the Unipart Way \u2013 read the Lowdown<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Chief executives, frustrated hospital and other NHS staff who are being left to treat potentially or actually infected patients without the right protective equipment may wonder who to blame: but at the centre of this ongoing fiasco, which has required the army to step in and try to get progress,\u00a0is\u00a0yet another botched Tory privatisation.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
NHS Supply Chain<\/strong>\u00a0is the organisation which should be coordinating the distribution of the vital PPE gear, ventilators, supplies of sanitiser and other basics to hospital trusts, GPs and community health providers. But it is manifestly failing in its task.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Technically its part of the NHS and owned by the Secretary of State, but in reality it\u2019s a complex web of contracts at the centre of which is UNIPART \u2013 better known for supplying components to the motor industry and clearly they should have stayed there as they are adding to the crisis!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

John Lister on the Government 13 Billion write \u2013off of NHS debts<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
A good piece from John Lister<\/a>\u00a0which including comments from a tax expert. It seems it is mainly an accounting exercise not costing the Government anything in practice as there is no way that NHS trusts will ever be able to pay back the money anyway. However\u00a0not one penny\u00a0of the enormous PFI debt, amounting to billions every year for NHS trusts, is included in the write off!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Government handling of coronavirus a \u2018national scandal\u2019<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Richard Horton, editor of the prestigious medical journal,\u00a0The Lancet\u00a0has publically hit out at the Government\u2019s handling of labelling it a \u2018national scandal\u2019. Writing in\u00a0The Lancet\u00a0last month he said<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe UK Government\u2019s Contain\u2013Delay\u2013Mitigate\u2013Research strategy failed. It failed, in part, because ministers didn\u2019t follow WHO\u2019s advice to \u201ctest, test, test\u201d every suspected case. They didn\u2019t isolate and quarantine. They didn\u2019t contact trace. These basic principles of public health and infectious disease control were ignored, for reasons that remain opaque\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Campaigners around the country have also been repeatedly asking why is the Government not testing, especially NHS staff, when all the evidence from other countries, particularly Germany, is that this has been key in slowing down the spread.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

It has been quite amazing to see our people across Ealing coming together to help neighbours, our NHS and anyone needing help in a huge act of solidarity. People have volunteered in their thousands to shop for others, get prescriptions and distribute food for charities & voluntary organisations. Some local restaurants have donated food and cooked meals in industrial portions for NHS staff and other local businesses have also donated equipment. The list is massive!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
If you need help or want to volunteer there are lots of way to do this. The Council has a\u00a0dedicated website<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
