Next phase in Portsmouth hospital land redevelopment plans up for debate

The city’s health, overview and scrutiny panel will listen to what work is being done to re-configure its services and free up land for potential new development.

Chunks of the ‘phase two’ scheme include transferring a Junior Doctors’ Mess into a residential property close by.

Work is being done to refurbish St Mary’s Hospital’s B Block so more care can be provided there.

Detailed designs are in place for a new catering facility within the ground floor of Block A at St Mary’s to replace the existing facility in the St James’ main building.

The HOSP panel will meet to hear about the overall plans on Tuesday, March 7.
