etained as a major hospital, because it is the smallest of the existing acute sites, it would
require the largest proportional expansion of any of the current sites to accommodate the
activity predicted for a typical major hospital.
Prior to consultation clinicians recommended that Central Middlesex should not be
considered as a major hospital due to insufficient levels of clinical quality to meet the
standards for major hospitals and due to the size of the site. This recommendation was
approved by the Clinical Board and the Programme Board pre-consultation.
9.7.28 Feedback received about determining unsuitable sites during consultation
During consultation we sought feedback about proposing Central Middlesex is not a major
hospital site. We wanted to understand if people agreed with the proposal and if people had
any suggestions for how it could be improved. We asked people the following question in our
response form:
Question 15: How far do you support or oppose our recommendation that we should
use our high quality hospital buildings with spare space as elective hospitals
4,596 people answered this question. Of these respondents:
68% in support
21% opposed to the recommendation
11% of people either had „no views either way‟ or responded „not sure/ don‟t know.
Figure 9.23 summarises the results.

“Central Middlesex is not currently providing the services that would be delivered at a major
hospital site and it therefore makes sense for it to continue to operate as a local hospital.”
