CAMPAIGNERS anxious to save St Mary's Hospital A&E department have launched an e-petition on the Downing Street website.
The petition, submitted by Glen Scott, reads "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop proposed closure of Queen Mary's A&E Department" and has so far got 353 signatures.
The deadline for signing the petition is April 23.
Recommendations on the reorganisation of health services in south east London, published as A Picture of Health will go out for consultation on January 7.
The three options being put to public consultation involve stripping Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, of all its acute functions.
Among the proposals are axing blue light A&E, emergency surgical and medical admissions, intensive care, maternity and in-patient paediatrics at the Sidcup hospital and moving them to the Princess Royal University Hospital in Locksbottom, Bromley, or the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich.
