Dover District deserves a proper hospital on a suitable site ......the clinics at QEQM,Ashford and K& C
are busting at the seams.....car parking at all hospitals are is horrendous......the car parking at
Coombe Valley will be grid lock.................the authorities do not agree.................

Reg, therre is very little in the way of additional services to the new hospital. There is ample parking now, always plenty of spaces, why should it change after all its basically a glorified clinic, with roughly the same clinics that there are now.

correct dave study showed that the car park is rarely full and with the new clinic open 2 and a half hours per day this should not be a problem.
incidentally all the main hospitals in east kent have massive car parks that are always full despite qeqm and the kent and canterbury having a bus service running every 10 minutes from their respective town centres.

Where are all the extra staff coming from Reg, there will be very few extra staff. The staff car park has been closed for ages haven't noticed any grid lock of late, my Wife has no problems parking, in fact in the evening the car park at the front has about 4-5 cars parked there.

Seems the NHS is more interested in making hospitals car-friendly so they can treat parking as a profit centre. What concerns me is access for frail or disabled people who do not have access to a car.
My wife has an appointment at William Harvey at 0730 next Sunday. We live in Eythorne. Eythorne has no Sunday buses. Even if it did, we could not get to Ashford by bus/train etc by that time. We are fortunate enough to be able to afford to run a car. But suppose we didn't?

# 149....just one of the reasons we need a proper hospital to save people the awful traveling ordeals
especially for the many,many villages.
As
says in villages like Eythorne and Elvington etc,etc if they do not have transport they are trapped.

Dover, because of the amount of visitors should be a good argument for an all singing hospital

Patients get new rights under NHS care charter;
; Doctors and nurses are to be issued with eight "commandments of care" in a radical overhaul
of standards; to ensure they treat patients properly. Patients will be told to kick up a fuss if the new
minimum standards — to be displayed in every ward and GP surgery — are ignored. Hospitals
will be taken over by outside experts; bosses will be sacked or units shut down if the new charter
of rights is consistently breached; the health inspectorate will warn.;
