Prof Tim Orchard emphasized the dire need for a new hospital in Paddington, stating, "Some of the buildings are 180 years old... It is not a sustainable position in the long term. St Mary's needs to be rebuilt." His comments highlight the urgency for modern healthcare infrastructure.
Nadia Tavernier-Gustave illustrated the challenges of outdated facilities, noting that the ward isn't built for 21st-century care, saying, "The corridors are too narrow for hospital beds, so patients have to be transferred to trolleys... It's in an environment that doesn’t aid better health."
Health Secretary Wes Streeting cautioned that some trusts might face delays, saying, "I can say with some certainty there will be people who will be disappointed that it takes longer. At least we're being upfront... with a plan we can actually stick to."
