What the petition asks
Fund a New Hospital for the growing population of Hemel Hempstead (HH) and St Albans. Watford Hospital is 35 to 50 minutes away for residents of HH and St Albans therefore not close enough.
We want a new hospital built for the benefit of Hemel Hempstead and St Albans.
The People of Hemel Hempstead and St Albans deserve a Hospital within a reasonable distance from the two communities. Ideally off the M1 (eg at Junction 8). We believe Watford is too far away and not fit for purpose, and that the NHS trust has failed the people of Hemel Hempstead and St Albans by prioritising facilities in Watford, rather than meeting the needs of our growing population.
