St Helier Hospital - completed 1938–41 in a thirties modernist/Art Deco idiom. Opened during wartime, endured bomb damage, and kept serving. A monumental hilltop presence in South London.

Hopes were raised when the Epsom and St Helier trust was announced as one of 40 trusts promised a new hospital under Boris Johnson's programme. This promise included a new specialist emergency care hospital in Sutton and essential upgrades to Epsom and St Helier. Yet these hopes were dashed in September 2024 when Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a review of the scheme, leaving the trust uncertain whether it will receive the promised funding. The LDRS understands that a decision on the hospital program is now expected within the month.

Oh look, Rachel Reeves again....

Hospital cancels blood tests as building flooded after ceiling collapse The South London hospital is facing widespread issues with disrepair amid uncertainty about a plan to upgrade the facility and build a new acute hospital nearby

somehow I don't think selling all our NHS data to America is going to fix problems like these, Labour had better come up with some plans soon.....

Yesterday I highlighted the unacceptable conditions at St Helier and Epsom hospitals that have exacerbated long A&E wait times this winter. It's time for action: repairs for our local hospitals and prioritisation of the new emergency care hospital in Sutton. #Epsom #NHS #StHelierHospital
