Hillingdon Hospital update from David McVittie on Thursday 2nd April

Everyone knows that The Hillingdon Hospital is long past its “sell-by date”, with dilapidated buildings too old to repair. So where should the hospital be rebuilt? The Board of The Hillingdon Hospital has well developed plans to rebuild on the present site but some people, led by John Randall MP, call for the rebuild to be on the old RAF site in Uxbridge.

Why does The Hillingdon Hospital Board reject that proposal? Has the current recession changed the options? Come to our 2nd April meeting, at 7.45pm in the Post Graduate Centre Mount Vernon, to have an update from David McVittie, Chief Executive of The Hillingdon Hospital.

He may touch on other issues too so come with your questions ready. Why does the Healthcare for London consultation propose to stop Hillingdon Hospital from providing 24 hour care for stroke victims, despite it offering an excellent service? Should we be fighting to keep what we’ve already got? How is the Trust’s foundation trust application faring? These and other questions may feature in our meeting. Visitors are welcome, as always.
