lost me as well, incidentally does anyone know whether it will be one or two storey as a builder friend commented to me that piling work suggests two or more levels?

Maybe some of the conservative posters can explain

i think keith was referring to the health and safety issue that brian and charlie were disagreeing on.

I also thought Keith (S) was referring to whether it was one or two floors, but couldn't understand the relevance to asking Conservative Councillors. Oh well.

Charlie didn't explain the health and safety bit,might have had the hump, though.

The answer to both questions is in the planning application documents - major procedures require more backup services than can be provided on a site this size (Reg warning!) so it would be a H&S issue for the patients carrying them out without the full facilities, a process that started at Buckland in the late 90s with closure of the Pathology Department.

History has shown the closure of the Pathology Department is the long term death nail of a Hospital.
The choice of this site and the previous site was wrong.
History will prove the responsibility for this lies with DDC.

All major procedures and many minor ones (venesections, chemotherapy) require an on-site resuscitation unit. That's usually an adjunct to an A&E. There's no resuscitation unit in the new hospital plans.

I think with the big plans for mass housing expansion , a public enquiry into the dopes that made this hospital decision needs to happen ,
sackings and striping of pensions are needed

This is the only time I have ever agreed with K Bibby ( Hospital )..........it could be the last time.

The decision(s) on what services and facilities are to be offered at the new Buckland Hospital are determined by health professionals on perceived areas of need; if those services and facilities are being provided at other (local) hospitals, they won't duplicate them at Buckland.
I can't remember off the top of my head, what services and facilities were promised initially, but I'd be surprised if they are being taken away, before they even start.

the big problem with the hospital were the massive egos involved all wanting different locations therefore pulling in different directions.
as far as i can see we will lose the excellent minor injuries unit when the current hospital closes.

According to the AGM report there will be a Minor injuries Unit.

Apart from a few births outside hospital, nobody in future will be able to say that they are proud to be Dover-born.
