Figure 9.29 further highlights the impact of not locating a major hospital at one of the sites in
the geographic pairings. If neither Charing Cross nor Chelsea & Westminster were
designated as major hospital sites, residents in Hammersmith and Fulham would be
significantly affected. In this scenario, residents would experience between 48%-57%
increase in average travel times to the next nearest major hospital.
