Both were also attended by Dan Doherty, Alliance Director of NHS Mid Essex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sir John said: \u201cI very much welcome Tom Abell\u2019s willingness to listen to the concerns of local residents in Maldon directly, following the overwhelming opposition to the ICB\u2019s proposals which was demonstrated in the response to the public consultation. I am greatly encouraged that he is approaching this with an open mind and shares our determination to ensure that the best outcome is found for future healthcare provision in the Maldon District and beyond. I look forward to continuing to work with him and others to achieve this. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sir John is pictured with Tom Abell outside St Peter\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tom-Abell-St-Peters-Hospital-6-Sept-2024-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sir John Whittingdale MP has had two meetings in the past week with Tom Abell, newly appointed Chief Executive of Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board, to discuss the consultation on proposed changes to services provided at St Peter\u2019s Hospital, Maldon.
