The NHS in north west London is carrying out a major public consultation on proposed changes to the way some NHS services are provided in the area. This includes services provided at West Middlesex Hospital.
The plan is to reduce providing accident and emergency (A&E), maternity and children’s services from nine hospitals to five hospitals. West Middlesex Hospital currently provides all of these services and also has an excellent specialist stroke unit.
NHS North West London has set out three options for which five hospitals would continue to provide these services. NHS North West London’s preferred option is option A. All three options are shown in the table below.
Hospital | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
West Middlesex University Hospital | ✓ | ✓ | X |
Chelsea & Westminster | ✓ | X | ✓ |
Ealing Hospital | X | X | ✓ |
Charing Cross | X | ✓ | X |
Northwick Park | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Hillingdon Hospital | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
St Mary's | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
For Hounslow residents, option A would ensure local access to A&E, maternity, pediatric and specialist stroke services. In addition option A would:
make best use of hospital buildings – West Middlesex has been recently built and is in very good condition
deliver best value for money
mean less overall movement of services across north west London and therefore less disruption than options B and C in the consultation

We consulted from 2 July - 8 October 2012 and a public roadshow on the consultation took place on Saturday 18 August at Feltham Library.
