Yesterday, Michael Gove MP visited Frimley Park Hospital to catch-up with the leadership team, who relayed how well the hospital has been performing, managing the RAAC situation, and delivering high quality care for the local community.
Commenting, Michael said:
"It is always great to visit Frimley Park Hospital - I have just had a fantastic tour and also observed an amazing surgeon performing cutting-edge robotic surgery on a patient!
"During my visit, I first had a very helpful catch up with the brilliant leadership team, Chief Executive Neil Dardis and Director of Communications and Engagement Carol Deans, who relayed just how well the hospital has been performing.
"We discussed potential locations for a brand new Frimley Park Hospital, following the funding that was granted earlier this year through the Government’s New Hospital Programme (NHP). As many constituents will know, Frimley Park Hospital has been affected by problems relating to Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), and extensive work has been required to keep the affected buildings safe and in use, and that’s why I backed the Hospital’s bid to the NHP. I was able to have the opportunity to look closely at the areas affected by RAAC, and I am thrilled work is well underway to find a location in Surrey Heath for a new state-of-the-art hospital.
"I then went on to meet the Intravenous & Vascular Access specialist team, and was hugely impressed by them, and then witnessed the cutting-edge robotic technology used by surgeons in action.
"Frimley Park Hospital is outstanding and is a massive asset to Surrey Heath and my constituents."
