Kit Malthouse is concerned about the approval of the Basingstoke Gateway warehouse Every month, Policing minister and MP for North West Hampshire, covering Andover and further afield, writes a weekly column for the Advertiser. Here’s what he said this time: It’s disappointing to hear the application for a huge new distribution warehouse beside the M3 at Junction 7 has recently been approved – I opposed it because we’ve got to ensure it cannot get in the way of plans for our new hospital. The new hospital we’ve all been working hard for is one of the 40 new hospitals to be built across the country, announced by the Prime Minister at the last election.
Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust runs Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester hospitals HAMPSHIRE Hospitals Trust potentially lost more than £4 million due to thousands of missed appointments through the pandemic, figures show. The failed appointments waste time and heap pressure on consultants who already face “extraordinary demand” due to the virus, says the British Medical Association. NHS Digital data shows that in the 11 months from April last year, there were 27,435 outpatient appointments which people did not show up for. It means out of 490,580 booked sessions, 6% were unattended. And with the average outpatient appointment costing £160 – as estimated by several NHS trusts – the no-shows may have cost Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust around £4.4 million.

Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust runs Basingstoke, Andover and Winchester hospitals A RECORD number of patients had been waiting a year or more for routine treatment at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in February, figures reveal. The Nuffield Trust said the record size of the NHS waiting list across England shows the health service has been set back years by the coronavirus pandemic and now faces a major backlog . NHS rules state that patients referred for non-urgent consultant-led elective care should start treatment within 18 weeks. But NHS statistics show 3,278 patients listed for elective operations or treatment at Hampshire Hospitals at the end of February had been waiting for at least a year – 8% of all those on the waiting list.
