WELCOME

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a brand new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton and we want you to have your say on our early designs!

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us during our last phase of consultation about Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust’s plans to build a new Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Sutton.

Whether you participated in our public webinars on 17, 19 and 23 June or contacted us by phone or email, or completed our online survey, your feedback is invaluable and will help to shape the proposals going forward.

We have submitted our Outline Business Case to the national New Hospitals Programme for feedback and are waiting for confirmation of next steps. Once this has happened, we will be able to reaffirm our programme delivery timelines, including our target date for planning application submission. We look forward to sharing our updated designs and plans with you soon.

On this website you can:

  • View the emerging proposals for the new hospital and multi-storey car park – please see the ‘The new hospital’ tab at the top of this page for more information.
  • Have your say on the emerging designs by completing our short survey or getting in touch with the consultation team directly. We appreciate your feedback.
