MENTAL health services for children and teenagers in Redbridge could be relocated under new proposals.

The service, which is currently based at Loxford Hall in Ilford, could now be moved to King George Hospital under proposals put forward by Health for North East London.

The idea is outlined in HFNEL's public consultation on plans for re-ordering health services in the borough.

It reads: "Many services in the area are either housed in outdated buildings or are not easily accessible to local residents.

"Clinicians have told us it would be better to locate these services at King George. For instance we could - improve our care of children by developing and relocating services to the King George site such as child neurodevelopmental assessments, child protection services and specialist therapy services for children with disabilities (from Kenwood Child Development Centre); and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (from Loxford Hall)."
