LABOUR MP Andy Slaughter was locked out of an NHS trust meeting yesterday as he and disability activists tried to lobby against the demolition of a hospital.
The shadow justice minister was barred from attending a public meeting held by management from Charing Cross Hospital in London.
He had to wait outside for 20 minutes after he rallied trade unionists and health campaigners on the dangers of the largest NHS closures programme to date.
Mr Slaughter said that the board of Imperial Trust “don’t know what they’re doing” and that the new plans were all “half-baked decisions.”
Despite local opposition, hospital bosses went ahead with the decision to close down the Charing Cross site.
