Tessa Jowell and the Health Secretary Andy Burnham met NHS Southwark Chiefs today at Dulwich Community Hospital.
During a tough-talking session Tessa told them that she wanted to hear no more excuses over the development of the site. Andy Burnham offered to put NHS Southwark in touch with Department of Health officials to help them push the plans forward and with other NHS projects where similar facilities had been delivered more quickly.
 Tessa said that her constituents were fed up with the lack of progress which, she felt, had not been helped by a complete lack of engagement and support from Southwark Council who were in a good position to help push the project through.
Tessa Jowell said:
'My constituents need to know exactly what services will be provided and when. They want to know when they can expect to receive 21st century health services in a 21st century environment.
'The Secretary of State said that others are doing this much more quickly and he is absolutely right. I urge NHS Southwark to proceed with pace and purpose. If they do I will support them to the hilt.'
