Re your Press Links page.
There was a piece in Private Eye as well, in the ‘Medicine Balls’ column, (issue 1328, 30 November) about the closure of Lewisham ICU, completely rubbishing the proposal to close it. You can’t link to it on their website, but I have the PDF which I can send to you, which I got directly from Private Eye.
thanks

Lewisham hospital changes would put pregnant mothers in danger, warn campaigners –
Not sure if you have seen the above Evening Standard piece – I can’t see it listed on your page.

BBC Question Time of 10th January with:
Ed Davey – coalition Energy Secretary
John Prescott
Nadine Davies – Conservative MP
Camilla Cavendish – Times Columnist
John Bird – Big Issue founder
and **ALL** of them were against the closure of Lewisham! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a panel agree like this on Question Time.
