Mystery of missing Market Square evidence deepens
- Two crucial expert reports – showing that the Hemel Market Square is not a suitable site for developing a hospital – have gone missing from BOTH the NHS and Dacorum Council
- In 2018, independent experts rated a large number of possible sites for a local hospital for Dacorum. The Market Square was placed 8th out of 8 in that process
- In a stunning U-turn, the NHS and Council have been pushing for a Hub to be built on the Market Square to replace the current Hemel Hospital – claiming it is their ‘preferred way forward’
- The NHS have already said that ‘Following reasonable searches, we can confirm that [it] does not hold’ the 2018 reports
- Now Dacorum Borough Council says that it does not have the 2018 reports either.
- What could have happened to them?
