Lobbying MP barred from NHS public meeting
Andy Slaughter tried to rally against hospital demolition
PM could be ejected from Downing Street if Welsh Labour loses Senedd elections in May, First Minister says
LABOUR MP Andy Slaughter was locked out of an NHS trust meeting yesterday as he and disability activists tried to lobby against the demolition of a hospital.
The shadow justice minister was barred from attending a public meeting held by management from Charing Cross Hospital in London.
He had to wait outside for 20 minutes after he rallied trade unionists and health campaigners on the dangers of the largest NHS closures programme to date.
