  • "People should stop voting like sheep and get out there and vote at the next election.......Paul Burstow has purportedly had campaigns for years to 'save St. Helier'. When the chips are down, how much harder is he going to fight for his local hospital, or will he just give-up and cave-in because of his position in the Government? Will he actually do something constructive? The bias against Sutton by the Committee who made the decision, should be a starting point for him."

St Helier Hospital £219m 'under threat'

Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow

The £219m promised to St Helier Hospital could be under threat as a result of the Better Services, Better Value review, according to a Government minister.

Sutton and Cheam MP and care minister Paul Burstow said continued uncertainty over what services will be provided at the hospital and whether they would be deliverable financially, meant the NHS was "running the risk of losing the investment".

He said the BSBV proposals could take seven years to deliver, and while the Government was fully committed to the investment, it could not guarantee what finance would be available at the end of such a long timeframe.

He added: "I think the NHS is playing fast and loose with the £219."
