When the reorganisation of Mental Health Services took place, Wandsworth lost Tolworth Hospital, as well as Barnes Hospital, for the care of older people with mental health problems. Who will the new facility be aimed at? Barnes Hospital and Tolworth treated older people -where do they go now after the closure of these 2 hospitals. Are they just moved into a carehome so they don’t get the inhospital care they need, and so that they and their families bear the cost of something that should be free under the NHS
I do not believe Barnes Hospital is suitable for housing. The access road is quite narrow and I don’t see how it will cope. When the Brewery site is redeveloped, then I think we will see real traffic chaos in Mortlake and East Sheen.
This is being spun as a gain for the community, but in my opinion it isn’t.
