I am pleased to say that the hospitalhas had a successful year to date and we have been well supportedwith capital investment.To update you:At 31 Old Broad Street, we have introduced new liver scanningequipment (Fibroscan) and a new bone densitometer. The Handand Wrist Clinic at the hospital will be moved into the City and weare going to support it with the very latest therapeutic equipment.At London Bridge Hospital, the liver and orthopaedic servicescontinue to strengthen and we hope to become a centre ofexcellence in both specialties. Meanwhile, our adult cardiac surgicalresults have been published, along with those of the leading Londonteaching hospitals, and we compare extremely favourably, particularlywhere high risk patients are concerned.Our Women’s Health Centre, at the main hospital site, is thrivingand it has enabled us to create a much more focused outpatientcentre, with plenty of information and rapid access clinics availableto our patients.I very much hope that you fi nd the hospital outpatient servicescontinue to be responsive to your needs.
