The bus which crashed into a Brent doctor's surgery
On Wednesday January 6 patients waiting in The Chamberlayne Road GP Surgery, in Kensal Rise, were lucky to get out alive after a bus skidded on ice crashing into the practice. Miraculously, no one was injured.
Brent NHS is assessing the extent of the damage and when the surgery can re-open fully. The surgery is only dealing with emergency cases and patients are being asked to use the Wembley Walk in Centre in Chaplin Road, Wembley, which is open from 8am to 8pm every day.
Meanwhile more and more people broke bones after falling over on icy surfaces.
Aisha Saleha Hoda-Benn, 25, from Sudbury, was furious at the lack of grit which resulted in her 55-year-old mother, Francis Hoda, slipping and breaking her wrist.
She said: "My mother and I went to Northwick Park Hospital Accident & Emergency. At the hospital, within an hour, there were six other patients with the same problem. My mother lives alone and now only has one hand that she can use. I am furious. “Someone should have came out to grit all our side roads and I would like a written apology for my mother."
