Delays over public consultation for new hospital for mid-Hampshire

HAMPSHIRE health bosses are delaying their public consultation over a new hospital.
Plans are being drawn up for a new hospital near Basingstoke, sparking fears that it will mean a long-term downgrading of services at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester.
Bosses said today that "more detailed planning work" is needed before the proposals are seen by the public. The consultation had been due this summer.
Maggie MacIsaac, chief executive of Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group, and Alex Whitfield, chief executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, in a joint statement, said: “In discussion with national and regional NHS colleagues, we have agreed together that our plans for a new hospital will be even stronger if we can incorporate newly available national planning information and recent learnings from others around the country.
