The present hospital sits on a site of 18.8 hectares . This is a far larger site than hospitals elsewhere catering for similar numbers of users. If the hospital authorities were to do what other new hospitals are doing and build a multi-storey car park, they would free up huge amounts of land and provide the space for the much-needed new buildings, while also solving the existing parking problem.

However, the same site option is currently the most common choice for hospitals which are in earlier cohorts of the programme and are free to influence design and location. A new government might well reconsider whether this really delivers value for money in terms of the health of the nation. I believe this lack of progress on the NHP presents a golden opportunity to revisit and challenge the issue of a suitable site for the new hospitals.
