Big blow for St Helier hospital today
St George's has decided not to merge with St Helier hospital.
The Surrey based hospital needs to attain foundation status by 2014. Something it cannot financially do alone.
A hospital spokesman issued this statement.
St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust have informed us and our strategic authority, NHS London, that they cannot proceed with their bid to merge with St Helier and Sutton hospitals.
Throughout the process St George’s have been very positive about the strategic opportunity to merge and the benefits this could bring to patients.
However, due to the financial challenges facing hospitals in south west London and the inability to pre-empt the outcome of the Better Services Better Value review, which is looking at how NHS services are provided across south west London, they do not feel able to proceed at this time.
This is because the review, which will be open to public consultation, could have a significant impact on the financial income of all hospitals involved.
St George’s have however expressed a full commitment to working closely with St Helier and Sutton hospitals in the future.
For more information about the work of the Trust visit our website: www.epsom-sthelier.nhs.uk. You can also follow us on Twitter (twitter.com/epsom_sthelier) or find us on Facebook (facebook.com/epsomsthelier).
