WATFORD GENERAL ISN’T THE BEST FOR MANY – IN WATFORD

FOR MANY WATFORD PEOPLE, WATFORD GENERAL WOULD NOT BE THE BEST OPTION FOR A NEW HOSPITAL – LOOK AT THIS MAP

• Watford General is not easy to get to from much of Watford – close to the southern edge of the Borough
• Possible new hospital sites in Wayside Farm, south of Kings Langley and Bricket Wood/Chiswell Green (near the M1/M25 junction) would be closer than Watford General for many thousands of Watford people
• People in Garston, Leavesden and other parts of Watford would find it easier to get to alternative sites – to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands who live outside the Borough
• Other sites could emerge if the NHS encouraged them
  There is now NO funded plan for Watford General, with the Government reviewing the project
• Time for a major rethink of the stalled Watford General project – let’s go for a new West Herts Hospital
