My other half works at the PRU as a specialist nurse. The reason for closing down Lewisham A&E is that there are too many in the area. The A&E at the PRU is the nearest to the M25 and so would never be closed. In south London you have Kings, Croydon, Lewisham, PRU, St.Thoams's. Somethings gotta give. Just happens to be Lewisham this time. Most of Queen Mary's at Sidcup will also close and the land sold off to service the PFI debt, as will some of the services at QE in Woolwich.
