Helen Zammett, of the Wanstead and Snaresbrook Residents' Association (WaSRA), is speaking out against the plan to close the remaining wards at Wanstead Hospital.
Redbridge Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) wants to close the Heronwood and Galleon unit, at Wanstead Hospital in Makepeace Road, and move treatment to King George Hospital in Goodmayes.
As part of the changes, it is proposing to set up a community treatment team, which will care for patients at home between the hours of 8am and 10pm, seven days a week.
Ms Zammett is against this plan and is part of a campaign against them.
