Lisa Rutter chairman of Dementia Club UK announced that TfL will be providing a bus service to Finchley Memorial Hospital, she said:

"I am delighted to announce that my hard work for over 2 years working with TfL to provide a bus service to the Finchley Memorial Hospital has finally been achieved.

TfL confirmed to me today that a bus service to Finchley Memorial Hospital will be commencing as from the 1st August. This will be a temporary bus service extending the 383 bus from Woodside Park to the Finchley Memorial Hospital.

A consultation process later in the year is planned for the retention of the extension. This is welcoming news not only to staff and patients but also to all the local community who attend other services provided at the Finchley Memorial Hospital.

I know that this bus service is vital and know that many people will be looking forward to the extension becoming permanent."
