Roger Appleton attended on behalf of the LINks and his full report can be seen here. Amongst the points Roger noted was a delay on the South Wandsworth consultation which will now run until 7th September. NHS Wandsworth reported on its performance and there are three main ones – teenage conceptions, ambulance response times to Category B calls and availability of appointment slots on Choose and Book.

The current planned development on the Putney Hospital site has been put on hold. Reasons given were the fall in residential property values making the overall development too expensive for current NHS guidelines. Further consideration was to be given as to whether demolition should go ahead. This “temporary” pause in the plans here offers the LINk a chance to identify whether there are other options which are of better value to patients, particularly those from local GP practices.
