Plans for Tolworth Hospital to undergo £60m redevelopment
Tolworth Hospital is to get a £60m makeover, including a major redevelopment of the site with new wards being built.
South West London Mental Health and St George’s Trust (SWLSTG) has applied to Kingston Council to demolish 9,530sq m of its existing buildings and put up 12,330sq m worth of new developments. It also hopes to increase its car parking spaces from 231 to 300 and create 80 parking spaces for cyclists.
The trust also wants to widen the main entrance from Red Lion Road and turn it into a two-way entrance. Plans include six new inpatient wards, administration and outpatient buildings as well as the retention of Woodroffe House, and the Acacia and Jasmines units, which will all be redeveloped.
The building works, if given the go-ahead by councillors, will not begin until autumn 2017 at the earliest. The plans come off the back of proposals to close mental health services at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton and centralise south-west London’s mental health services at both Springfield University Hospital, in Tooting, and Tolworth Hospital. Health bosses have estimated they will save £25.87m over 50 years by doing this. No decisions would be made until after a consultation period ends on September 26.
