Whipps Cross concerns
At a recent Health Scrutiny meeting, and also at the last Board Meeting of Whipps Cross Hospital, Cllr.John Beanse, Vice-Chair of Waltham Forest Health Scrutiny, expressed his concern about one particular detail in the latest Patients' Survey. This reported that more than a fifth of the respondents said they had experienced MIXED SEX ACCOMMODATION in the hospital - despite frequent assurances about the policies to minimise this. The figure is lower than the London average, apparently, but there is still nevertheless a long way to go at Whipps Cross. John Beanse also drew attention to the disturbingly high rates of DNA [= those who Did Not Attend appointments] in some departments of the hospital and it was agreed there needed to be more attention given to this matter.
