Hampshire Hospital Consultation

Extract from NHS website

We are delighted to be included in the government’s national New Hospital Programme. It is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest between £700 million and £900 million to improve our hospital facilities and hospital services for decades to come.

The money will help transform the care and treatment patients receive. It will enable us to meet the changing needs of our growing and ageing population, attract and retain the best staff, provide better and more consistent care, help people stay healthy for longer, and – crucially – provide safe, sustainable, high-quality services for the future.

We want to do this by creating two excellent acute hospitals; with significant investment in refurbishing the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, and by building a brand-new specialist acute hospital on either the existing Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital site, or at a new location near Junction 7 of the M3.

We have worked together with patients, local communities, and health and care staff to develop proposals for how we might best use this significant investment.

We are now undertaking a public consultation on the proposed options. The consultation runs from 11 December 2023 for 14 weeks until midnight 17 March 2024.
