Hunt promises 'to do something' on 'huge' 拢1/3bn bid for new A&E unit for Epsom & St Helier
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has told 麻豆社 Surrey he wants to "do something" about a bid from Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust for a new A&E facility.
The trust's chief executive wants to build a 拢1/3bn acute care unit and has warned existing buildings are not fit-for-purpose clinically or financially.
Mr Hunt tells 麻豆社 Surrey St Helier "needs a lot of work" and that the upcoming budget would include a big capital expansion of the NHS.
He also says he wants assurances about services for patients in Surrey after a sexual health clinic at St Peter's hospital in Chertsey closed on Sunday.
And he is calling for accommodation for nurses to be built next to the Royal Surrey in Guildford.
