During consultation we also received feedback from the following organisations:
North West London Hospitals NHS Trust
“We therefore believe that the hospital [Northwick Park] (with support from local CCGs) is
generally well placed to support increased demand although new inpatient capacity is likely
to be required until local out of hospital strategies are fully implemented.”
The Hillingdon Hospitals NHW Foundation Trust
“The implementation of the proposed changes will need to be carefully planned, with
investment made to ensure that the capacity is in place at the proposed locations that will
deliver the healthcare services outlined in the consultation document. Indeed, we have
discussed the consultation proposals with our Foundation Trust Governors and members,
who have highlighted the importance of ensuring the capacity is put in place to enable the
Trust to respond to the proposed activity flowing from other hospitals.”
Harrow Council Health and Social Care Scrutiny Sub-Committee
“We remain concerned about the capacity and infrastructure at Northwick Park Hospital to
take on the growth in demand in its services and the additional patient flow.”
Hillingdon Council Health and Social Care Scrutiny Sub-Committee
“Concern that the need to make short term efficiencies may lead to reduced services or
capacity which might later then be needed to meet transferred demand from elsewhere.”
In addition, we received feedback about travel pertinent to hurdle criterion 5 is as follows:
