PLEASE HELP OUR CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT SURGERY MOVE This letter is addressed to every patient of Ravenscroft Medical Centre in NW11. The surgery has received permission to close its Golders Green site and move to Finchley Memorial Hospital – more than three miles away. Patients who will move with the surgery and who depend on public transport will face a journey of at least 40 minutes, plus a 10 to 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop to the hospital. Those who decide to leave this surgery will clog up the already overcrowded Golders Green surgeries, decreasing the levels of service currently
experienced by patients. We will fight this decision all the way to a judicial review – which we have been advised stands a very good chance of success. Please join us in our campaign to save our surgery, which is organised for the patients by the patients. Your support is vital. If you are a member of the surgery, please contact Jewish News, stating your name, approximate age and contact details, and the newspaper will forward on your details. We will get back to you with how you can help.
Signed on behalf of the Committee to Save Our Surgery
Such a one-sided Jewish law Having read the letter from Howard Handler, printed in last week’s edition, “Kahan article was one sided,” (Jewish News, 29 August) that may be the case. Mr Handler is entitled to his opinion, and this newspaper duly published it. What certainly seems to be one-sided in Jewish law is the giving of a get which favours the husband and can
leave the wife, in married terms, permanently stateless. I accept the point made by Mr Marlow, that there are men who suffer from their wives. All the more reason for something to be done about this issue which blights the lives to too many people.
