Mount Vernon Cancer Centre - What’s being proposed
The main proposal is to relocate the cancer centre to a new, purpose-built facility next to Watford General Hospital. The new centre would bring modern, specialist services together on one site, with access to the full range of medical and surgical care needed for high quality cancer treatment. It would continue to support patients across Hertfordshire, north west London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and east Berkshire.
The proposals also include:
- More chemotherapy, diagnostics and follow up care in local hospitals
- Increased chemotherapy at home
- Reduced travel for routine appointments
A key part of the consultation is the option for a second radiotherapy unit at either:
- Luton and Dunstable Hospital, or
- Lister Hospital, Stevenage
This would be in addition to radiotherapy at the new main centre and would improve access for people living in the north of the current Mount Vernon catchment area.
