This morning, I was delighted to meet with the team at Hillingdon Hospital and to have the opportunity to hear plans for the new Hillingdon Hospital, a project which I am very proud to be supporting.

Residents will be familiar with the long-standing care provided by Hillingdon Hospital, both for emergencies and those with long-term conditions. However, the current infrastructure has presented challenges for being able to provide that care to the high standard that we know and expect of the hospital.

The plan for the new hospital is, in my view, very credible. It delivers on national priorities and the Government’s commitment to protect the NHS long into the future. By replacing outdated infrastructure, it will ensure word-class provision of healthcare and make a vast difference for patient and staff safety and wellbeing.

I was also reassured to learn that facilities would remain open during construction, which will lessen the disruption for those currently receiving treatment at Hillingdon Hospital.
