Grenfell NHS Services: Update for North Kensington residentsOur thoughts remain with the 72 lives lost, the survivors, the bereaved, and everyone affected by the Grenfell tragedy. The NHS is here for North Kensington for the long term.
As Grenfell Tower is carefully taken down, we are committed to keeping support steady, sharing clear health information, and inviting the community to help shape what comes next.
Dedicated services continue for survivors and those who lost loved ones in the tragedy, and
Enhanced Health Checks are in place through GP practices.
We are pleased to confirm that
Grenfell-specific NHS services will continue to be provided as the Tower is carefully taken down. We thank the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and NHS England for their continued support for Grenfell-related health services. Their commitment enables us to maintain and strengthen the emotional and physical wellbeing services available to the community.
Your services now
- Specialist support: Dedicated, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive care continues for those directly affected, with continuity as the Tower is carefully taken down. Access is via your current clinician or through the usual referral routes.
- Enhanced Health Checks: Available to survivors, the bereaved, and all people affected by Grenfell, these in-person health checks are provided through your GP and community clinics, covering physical and mental health and wellbeing, with follow-up as needed.
- Environmental monitoring: UKHSA and partners continue to publish air, dust, and noise data, which we reflect in our updates and we have published a new leaflet explaining this.
- General NHS service: There are many general NHS services available to help people.

Frances has said: “As we move forward with this merger, I am deeply mindful of the needs of the North Kensington community… Their voices must continue to shape how we deliver care, build trust, and ensure equity across our system.”
Community-led recovery: transparency and accountabilityWe confirm our commitment to ensuring services are designed with survivors, bereaved, and the local community. We will publish what is decided and why, and report regularly on outcomes and progress.
