In the week that ends with Jeremy Hunt's decision on the future of Lewisham Hospital, the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign will be handing in petitions – including the 100ft one created at the demonstration on Saturday – at the Department of Health on Wednesday 30th January, 10am-12noon.

Update from Save Lewisham Hospital, 30th January:
It is believed Jeremy Hunt may make his announcement regarding Lewisham Hospital closures on Thursday 31st January.
PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS via the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign's Facebook or Twitter pages. DO NOT ASSUME it is tomorrow unless you have heard so through these channels.
IF it's Thursday 31st January:
Meet outside Lewisham Hospital at 6PM. Join the Save Lewisham Hospital campaigners, hospital workers and the community to celebrate OR to hear about next steps for the campaign.
THIS WILL NOT BE A DEMONSTRATION. We need to respect the Hospital which still has it's job to do! :-)
IF NOT, we will keep you posted.
Thank you,
Save Lewisham Hospital campaign

"Today petitions from the incredible public (over 40,000), the 100ft petition with thousands of names from the demo last Saturday and a petition by nearly 400 GPs was handed to Jeremy Hunt, in a last ditch attempt to persuade Hunt to NOT CLOSE crucial Lewisham Hospital departments."
The fight for our hospital won't be over till he unequivocally withdraws these proposals. If he decides to accept the recommendation, we will still carry on. I have put in a freedom of information request about, among other things, the nature of the government's legal advice that allows it to think this is acceptable and legally justified.
