West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust (WHHT) and Herts Valleys CCG say a report commissioned by a new hospital campaign group does not cause a reconsideration to be made regarding their latest hospital redevelopment plans.
The independent report, commonly known as the Naxton Report, was commissioned by the New Hospital Campaign in December 2020 and aimed criticism at WHHT s plans for redeveloping Watford General, St Albans City and Hemel Hempstead hospitals, rather than building a brand new facility on a central site.
Planning consultant Mike Naxton, who drew up the report, disagreed with the plans currently favoured by the trust.
A charitable 8-year-old ran 25 miles in seven days to raise money for Watford General hospital staff. Archie Little, 8, decided to fuel his lockdown boredom as motivation to not only get active, but also to help out hardworking NHS staff. After his mum suggested that he runs in the garden to combat his boredom, Archie brought along the idea to run for charity, and his mum suggested that supporting the West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust would be best during the pandemic. And over ten days starting from January 12, Archie began to run and received over £530 of donations. Archie Little raised money for NHS workers (Photo: UGC)
At least 222 frontline health and care workers have been identified after dying with coronavirus.
Through tributes from loved ones and confirmation through sources such as local NHS trusts and other authorities, the PA news agency has confirmed the names of health and social care workers who have died after contracting Covid-19 since March 11 2020.
This chronological list contains people who were working in roles shortly before their deaths where they were likely to come into contact with patients.
The figure is likely to be lower than the true number of workers who have died, as the names of some victims will not yet be in the public domain.
