Felicity visited St Mary's Hospital and the Paddington Life Sciences cluster today.
Felicity received an update from the Chief Executive of the Imperial Health Trust, Tim Orchard, on plans to redevelop St Mary's.
Lord Markham (responsible for the New Hospital Programme) and Nickie Aiken MP for the Two Cities joined Felicity in welcoming positive steps taken to redevelop St Mary's.
Reflecting on the progress, Felicity commented:
Today's tour of the St Mary's site reiterated the clear need to redevelop this centre of excellence. I welcome collaboration between the New Hospital Programme (NHP), the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS partners as we realise this project. Kensington benefits greatly from it's proximity to the hospital, and I will do all I can to support - I look forward to returning in the early Autumn to catch-up on the plans, review feasibility studies and assess next steps.
