MPs and councillors discuss Hospital closure – behind closed doors

  • On Friday local MPs and councillors will privately meet officials to hear more about the closure of Hemel Hospital
  • There has been no announcement of the meeting, its agenda or the invitees
  • Will private sector representatives from the Dacorum Investment Partnership be at the meeting, for instance?
  • David Taylor MP (Hemel) and Victoria Collins MP (Harpenden and Berkhamsted) have been invited, we understand
  • Neither MP turned up at public meetings about the plans to replace the Hospital with a Hub
  • But at least Victoria Collins has asked DHAG to suggest issues to raise in Friday’s meeting
  • We hope she will ask about possible private finance and the poor rating given to the Market Square site in the past 
  • We also hope there will be ANSWERS that the MPs and councillors will share with those who elected them
