HOSPITAL chiefs rubber-stamped a massive sell-off of National Health Service buildings in Westminster this week.
Plans to sell 45 per cent of the site in Praed Street, Paddington, along with the Western Eye Hospital in Marylebone were approved by the board of Imperial Healthcare Trust in a highly charged three-hour meeting on Wednesday.
The scheme, branded Shaping a Healthier Future by the trust, will also see Charing Cross A&E *drastically scaled back and St Mary’s undergo a multi-million pound redevelopment to become the regional centre for emergency treatment.
There were emotional scenes at the meeting in Hammersmith Hospital, which is also to lose its emergency room, as members of the public and patients, who had been campaigning against the changes, heckled the board.
