The Royal South Hants Hospital – Its Future

Many of you may be aware that future plans are being progressed for the redevelopment of the Royal South Hants Hospital. These proposals would see this site transformed into a new health facility offering the following services:

Acute mental health unit
Treatment Centre
Integrated Care Centre
Teaching and training facilities

Importantly, there is a meeting scheduled for the 31 January 2007 at which members of the community will be welcome to attend and to quiz a selected panel on these future plans.

It is my understanding that emphasis is being placed on ensuring that this becomes a community hospital, which is not separated in any way from the local community.

In this case, it will be vital that as many interested residents and representatives from the area attend. I will be there, so I look forward to seeing and meeting as many of you as possible.

I will look to post further details of this meeting in due course on this site. However, should you have any questions in the meantime, please do feel free to contact me.
