Performance
Like many NHS hospitals the Trust has had difficulty in meeting the national target in its emergency department which has seen a rise of nearly 8% in patient numbers in the last year. In the year 2015/2016, HHFT failed this target which aims to see 95% of patients admitted to A&E discharged or admitted within 4 hours. The trust spent £4 million on agency staff in 2014/5.
The Trust is planning a new Critical Treatment Hospital to be built alongside a new £18.5m cancer treatment centre, on land at North Waltham, Hampshire. It would have a centralised obstetric labour unit and midwifery-led birthing centre, paediatric ward, central pathology laboratory, ambulance station, energy centre and a helicopter landing pad. The total cost of delivering the hospital is expected to be £150 million, of which £120 million is the cost of building. Kier Group is the preferred bidder. Work will start on site in April 2016.
