Dulwich Hospital Campaign

This will be of interest to all residents in and around Peckham as Dulwich Hospital is part of our local hospital services.
___________________________________________
Message from the "Keep Dulwich Hospital Campaign"
PUBLIC MEETING:
Tuesday 15th December 2009 at 6.30pm

Goldsmiths Room, Dulwich Hospital,
East Dulwich Grove, SE22
___________________________________________
HELP US to:
* fight to keep Dulwich Hospital as a fully functioning Local Community Hospital;
* engage wider support from the public;
* fill up our Petition to persuade the Government and others to support our Hospital;
* get yourselves, your neighbours and friends, to pledge support and ideas for the future of Dulwich Hospital;
* contribute written support and suggestions to our website;
* maintain the pressure on Government Ministers and local Health Bosses to Keep Dulwich Hospital.

DON'T let them destroy Dulwich Hospital JOIN the fight to KEEP it.

Jonathan Mitchell: Chair "Keep Dulwich Hospital Campaign"

SAVE OUR BEDS in Dulwich Hospital
Kings Hospital is overcrowded: patients on trolleys
Patients bussed to Lewisham not Dulwich for Treatment
Patients sent home too early after operations, only to return later as emergency cases
Patients in mixed wards
Elderly, dementia and mentally ill patients in the same wards as seriously ill patients

SAVE OUR LAND
Keep Dulwich Hospital on our land: in an area of high social need for Lambeth and Southwark. The Primary Care Trust is no longer involved in providing services.
NOW the PCT commissions others to provide our Health services, but they are likely to bypass local people and go to PRIVATE health services.
We do not want American-style Private Health Schemes here.

LOCAL PEOPLE NEED A LOCAL HOSPITAL
1. London as a Capital is short of beds;
2. Dulwich is near Kings Acute hospital, and can take the overflow patients;
3. Dulwich can provide Intermediate Care beds;
4. Dulwich can provide beds for ill people whose carers need respite from their work;
5. Dulwich Hospital has good transport links;
6. A skilled workforce for the Hospital lives locally to provide qualified staff.

800 beds in 1970; 90 beds in 2000; 12 beds in 2009; no plans for any beds in the future.

BUILD a HOSPITAL: BUILD UP the local COMMUNITY
SAVE OUR BEDS : KEEP DULWICH HOSPITAL

Sign the PETITION in Local Shops

Southern Rail Passenger Panel

Do you use any of the trains that go through North Dulwich, East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Queens Road, & South Bermondsey to London Bridge, or the South London Line that runs from London Bridge to Victoria via South Bermondsey, Queens Rd, Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill?
If so, please consider volunteering to become part of Southern Rail's Passenger Panel to give your views. It would be very good to have Southwark rail users on the Panel to give feedback on our parts of the services, so hope some of you volunteer. See below for details.
Southwark Rail Users' Group (SRUG)
www.southwarkrailusers.net
_____________________________________________
Message from Southern Rail:
We are looking for passengers who want to be involved in giving views on Southern services by joining our new Passenger Panel.

The role of the panel is a consultative one with opinions of members gathered on our services and changes we might want to make. This could be anything from timetable changes to announcements on trains.

The panel of 1000-plus people complements our existing consultation process with local councils, user groups and other passenger representatives.

In order to tailor Passenger Panel consultations as much as possible, we ask you to provide us with information about you and your typical journey on Southern. We expect consultations to take place no more than once a month and depending on your typical journey and the plans and issues to be discussed, relevant consultations for you may be less frequent than that.

The panel is managed through the Southern website and by email so you must have access to both in order to participate.

If you would like to be involved, why not apply to become a member by completing the form using the link below.

latest news on the Save the South London Line Campaign

Message from Southwark Rail Users' Group
The campaign continues on a number of levels. Visit www.southwarkrailusers.net to keep up to date.
Two key recent events reported below. Also don't forget - if you use Denmark Hill Station - 8am Tuesday 1st December a media photo event. Come and support. see link on www.southwarkrailusers.net
_________________________________________
1. On 4th November Southwark Council agreed a cross party motion supporting fully and comprehensively the campaign to Save the South London Line. See details here
_________________________________________
2. Meeting with TfL on 24th November - News from the Save the South London Line Campaign (** see at end for campaign members)
Subject: TfL Recognises Need For Central London Links from South London Line stations
At a meeting on 24th November with stakeholder groups in South London, TfL recognised one of the main objectives of campaigners, the need to keep radial services to Central London for current South London Line stations. TfL has proposed a variety of short-listed options for keeping service to Victoria, including diverting the East London Line from Clapham Junction, introducing a Victoria-
Bellingham service and making current Victoria-Dartford services run all day, guaranteeing for Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye all day trains to Victoria. This is in contrast to TfL's earlier assertions that SLL passengers should take ELLX to Clapham Junction and change for Victoria there.
However the Save South London Line Campaign is calling out for the Department for Transport to review all terminating services at London Bridge, based on impact and future demand. Network Rail has acknowledged that keeping the South London Line to London Bridge is possible but would require elaborate signalling or the removal of other services. The Campaign has argued that the cutting of SLL would be a rupture of links and hence impact disproportionately. Negotiations with the DfT over this will continue.

The Campaign group is also looking for a Lawyer with experience in Judicial Review proceedings. Anyone able to help?

** The SSLL Campaign is a consortium of elected representatives from all 4 main parties, plus the Southwark Rail Users' Group, Clapham Transport Users Group, Lambeth Public Transport Group, Kings College Hospital, and SLAM (South London & Maudsley).
