Operating under a new system

Pepinster, C.

Operating under a new system - 1989 - Building 254(7586) 24 February 1989, 20-22(3) .

Focus on hospital building reviews development potential after the Government white paper "Working for Patients". This gives NHS hospitals the chance to opt out. Suggests ways in which the NHS could take advantage of its vast asset holdings to raise funds. Selling surplus land , doing deals with developers over redundant buildings and land leasing are some options recommended. Looks at examples where this has already been done, including proposals for refurbishment of New End Hospital, Hampstead. Concludes with a timetable for completion of the new Westminster and Chelsea hospital in London.
