New wards open at Woolwich’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Here’s some good news for the weekend. Two new wards featuring 58 beds have opened at the QE Hospital in Woolwich.
A major moment in the history of QEH – completion of our new clinical facility, wards 22 & 23. 58 beds to give much needed capacity, & help address the increased demand since the closure of A&E at Queen Mary’s in 2010. Magnificent team effort to deliver this on time. pic.twitter.com/oAh7Ps3bIX

I covered plans for 100 extra beds last December. This opening of 58 will see more to follow.
A new pharmacy also opened last week. Anyone who has had a one hour (or longer) wait will be very grateful for that.
Good news indeed. To balance this the new franchisee for The Clover Health Centre in Woolwich has already cut costs by axing Saturday morning surgeries.
It is good news about the new ward’s at the QE Hospital.
But what about additional parking.
I was driving around the car park for 30 minutes the other day.
Surely a small amount of the common could be used for this purpose.
