Should Great Ormond Street Hospital for children run more local
services – as well as the specialist services which are its main work?
Should our international work be separated and run by an independent
charity? Which services should Great Ormond Street Hospital expand?
How is the hospital progressing as it seeks to become a Foundation
Trust?
These are some of the questions that will be discussed at
two public meetings in Camden. Everyone interested in child health is
welcome to attend.
Thursday 25th October, 2pm-3.30pm, Weston House, Great Ormond Street
Tuesday 20th November, 6.30pm-8pm, Institute of Child Health, 30 Guilford St
