Bolingbroke Hospital
Today we will start a four week engagement process with our staff and stakeholders about where to provide the services that are currently being provided from the Bolingbroke Hospital in Battersea.
Once we have feedback from everyone involved with the Bolingbroke Hospital, St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will make a decision about whether to go out to formal public consultation on where to provide these services.
The quality of care at the Bolingbroke is excellent and now deserves the best possible environment to be provided from.
There are no plans to close or cut these services, only provide them in the most appropriate places for the patients and residents of Battersea and in the most cost effective way possible.
We are committed to providing and improving local health services for people living in Battersea and the rest of Wandsworth.
