Peter Pan fights for life! -as the people of North Kensington oppose plans to close the much-loved children's ward at their local hospital. Unhappily cast as Captain Hook and his cut-throat crew are the doctors and nurses and administrators of the Paddington and North Kensington Health Authority.

The professional and lay members of the health authority have to find a solution which marries medical excellence and the community's wishes-and all within a reduced budget.
