Hospitals

St Thomas Hospital seen from Westminster

This page attempts to collect information relevant to hospital organisation, closures and reconfigurations. The SHA does not in general either support or oppose campaigns to preserve hospitals, but we do try to encourage informed debate. Material about Foundation Hospitals, is on a separate page. There is also a page about NHS Reform.
