NHS Trust bosses fail to turn up for Dacorum meeting

West Herts NHS Trust promised to ‘engage with all stakeholders throughout the planning process’  for the Hemel Hospital closure/Health Hub project

The Trust have reneged on that pledge as closure moves closer

There has not been a public meeting about the Market Square ‘health centre’ Hub for over a year.

No representative of the Trust could be bothered to turn up at the recent Dacorum Council Health meeting

So key questions on the future capacity of the urgent treatment centre and secondary care in Hemel went unanswered

A paper from the Trust gave no update on progress on the Hemel Hub project, simply referring to past videos and articles 

Some councillors are promoting the plan to close the Hospital and replace it with the Market Square Hub

They suggested it was too early to provide detailed information on the future of the UTC and secondary care

The Hub plan was first announced almost three years ago, in November 2023.
