The physical condition of much of the NHS estate in NW London is poor:
Three quarters of hospitals require significant investment and refurbishment to meet
modern standards, at an estimated cost of approximately £150 million 33 – we need to
prioritise where we invest to maximum effect as capital funding is a scarce resource.
In addition, primary and community care requires further investment. The details are
set out in Chapter 16.
Ealing has 79 GP practices. As Figure 4.9 shows, only 4% of GP practices were meeting
statutory requirements and guidance at the time of the last estates review.
