Refurbished Hemel Hempstead Hospital by 2015?

Plans for the long-awaited Hemel Hempstead Local General Hospital appear to be moving forward. It appears that papers to be presented to the West Herts Hospital NHS Trust Board refer to plans either to refurbish or rebuild the hospital facilities at the Hillfield Road site in Hemel Hempstead. According to a report in the Hemel Hempstead Gazette the papers refer to "achieving a deliverable outcome within the next two to three years."

The meeting will be open to the public and will be held in the Education Centre at Hemel Hempstead Hospital in Hillfield Road at 1.00 pm on 31st May, 2012.

An announcement from the NHS in June 2009 referred to a £35 million project but it is not known whether the new plans represent a similar investment or a scaled-down version.
