Patients and staff not told about the NHS transformation plans which could see closures in Hospitals and A&E

The plans that the NHS have could lead to many Hospitals and A&Es closed. All these plans have been kept quite from the public and many of the staff working for the NHS. NHS England have told Local health leaders to not reveal plans to the public or media until finalised.

44 reviews of services around the country- which involve closing so A&Es- or in one case a whole Hospital- are yet to emerge. 

• Plans in south west London to close one of five hospitals - St George's, Kingston, Croydon, St Helier or Epsom
• In Devon bosses are looking at whether to close some A&E, maternity and strike services at hospitals across the county so they can be centralised at bigger sites

I chose this source as i thought that it is a real concern for England as the NHS are looking to shut down or transform major Hospitals. This will largely effect most people in England as they may rely on the NHS or there local Hospital, that could have plans to renovate.
