Bosses at the beleaguered trust running Whipps Cross Hospital, which was placed in special measures last week due to widespread care failings, will be questioned at a public meeting.

Senior representatives from Barts Health NHS Trust will appear in front of the Health and Wellbeing Board on Thursday.

Representatives from the Care Quality Commission, which highlighted serious concerns following an inspection, will also attend along with officials from the NHS Trust Development Authority.

The meeting will be held at Walthamstow Town Hall in Forest Road between 12.30pm and 2.30pm.

Members of the public are invited to attend.
