Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust runs Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester hospitals HEALTH chiefs have committed to reducing the carbon footprint made by health services as plans progress to build a new hospital serving mid and north Hampshire. The Hampshire Together programme – the plan to modernise healthcare in the area – has said it wants to deliver care in a more sustainable way. Cleaner travel, dedicated green spaces and improved air quality are just some of the benefits that would be delivered if proposals to build a new acute centralised hospital for the people of Winchester, Basingstoke, Alton, Andover, Eastleigh, and the surrounding areas are taken forward.
Cllr Rhatigan said he wanted to support clinicians however he can THE leader of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has said he hopes Basingstoke will be on the “cutting edge” of medical research as Hampshire Together progress with plans for a new hospital in the town. Speaking at a meeting of the Community, Environment and Partnerships (CEP) committee on Wednesday (December 16), Cllr Ken Rhatigan told members he would like to see the group’s ideas for a health campus in Basingstoke come to fruition. He said: “We were lucky that Oxford brought a vaccine so quickly, but the reality is we will need to be at the cutting edge of healthcare for perhaps another pandemic, or as healthcare needs change and alter.
