Figure 9.30: Changes in travel time for each borough if there is no major hospital located at
either Hammersmith or St Mary’s (private car peak time) (% change) 21
For residents in Westminster, the analysis confirms that removing major hospital services
from both Hammersmith and St Mary‟s would see average travel times for residents increase
by around 27%. In addition, residents from the neighbouring boroughs of Hammersmith &
Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea would also be negatively impacted.
In reviewing this analysis, clinicians proposed that a geographic distribution of the remaining
three locations for major hospitals to minimise the impact of changes on local residents,
should be found. They agreed that the location of the remaining three major hospital sites
would be between the following pairs:
Either Charing Cross or Chelsea & Westminster
Either Ealing or West Middlesex
Either Hammersmith or St Mary’s.
Figure 9.31 illustrates the pairs of hospitals on a map.
