NHS NW London is committed to learning lessons from the system response to the Grenfell Tower fire and we note the King’s Fund report. We recognise that the residents of North Kensington have been traumatised by the tragedy and we are committed to a community-led recovery.

Following the release of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry's phase two report, the local Council (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea) is taking time to consider the report in detail and has published a Summary of what they think the findings mean for the Council and their relationship with local residents.

The Council have advised us that they will be holding two drop-in sessions and two public meetings for local residents, where the residents can challenge and tell the Council what they want to see from the Council’s formal response to the Grenfell Public Inquiry Phase 2 report, which will be published in November 2024.

The NHS recognises the importance of the publication of the Grenfell Independent Inquiry report on those affected by the fire and the possible impact on your health and wellbeing. A range of services and support is available and at the request of local community, NHS North West London has worked with our partners to put in place arrangements for a place for quiet space and reflection that they can visit and get support from their own community.

We recently shared details on what we had previously heard about the Grenfell-affected community’s health needs and our proposals to make changes to support a community-led recovery.

This Next Steps document collated all the rich insight the NHS alongside our valued partners had pulled together over the last few years by asking survivors, bereaved and the local community lots of questions about their current health needs and what they are worried might occur in the future
