West London NHS hospital building to be sold off for ‘potential’ new houses after being declared 'surplus' by NHS

A old West London hospital building is being sold off after being declared ‘surplus’ by the NHS. The site may be used for ‘potential’ new houses by its next buyer.

The Wembley Hospital ‘Old Building’, which is for sale, has been declared as ‘surplus to requirements’ by the NHS. The hospital building has ‘potential for residential use’, according to Savills, who is selling the property for the NHS.

This building forms part of the wider Wembley Centre for Health and Care - a 2.26-hectare site comprising the Wembley Hospital ‘Old Building’, the Wembley Centre for Health ‘New Building’ and Barham House.

Savills said: “The site has development potential for residential use, but may suit other uses, subject to securing the necessary consents.”

Wembley Hospital was opened in 1928, undergoing numerous extensions throughout the 20th century. The new Wembley Centre for Health and Care was opened in 2000 on the site, with the hospital becoming part of the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust.

A spokesperson for NHS Property Services said: “A vacant section of the Wembley site known as the ‘old building’ was recently declared surplus to us by our NHS colleagues at the ICB.

“As part of our strategy to unlock value and reduce vacant space nationally across the NHS estate, we are now looking to complete the disposal of this part of the building. There will be no impact on services or patients and proceeds will be reinvested directly into the NHS.”

The Whittington Health Trust, who own the Wembley Centre for Health and Care, said the sale will have no effect on the dental service provided on the site and that patients should attend appointments as planned.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
