Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is set to receive funding from the Government for design work on the redevelopment of St Mary's Hospital, addressing its current issues of escalating repair costs and a lack of beds. Plans include a new building that will increase bed capacity from 600 to over 800 while establishing a life sciences hub on the site. While planning applications may be made by late 2027 or early 2028, construction funding isn't expected until at least 2035, leading to local concerns about the timeline for necessary upgrades and economic benefits.
The funding commitment for design work at St Mary's Hospital is a crucial first step, but construction funding won’t be available until 2035 at the earliest.
Cllr Adam Hug voiced disappointment over the lengthy timeline but acknowledged that the released funding for design work is a significant move towards progress.
