Of course you could build all new hospitals on cheaper out of town
sites. But then it would take the majority longer to get there - and
of course emergency ambulance services, which could have serious
implications. The only answer is to provide adequate PT services to
the hospital. Perhaps in the form of a bus service from the local
station or centre.

But where would the "centre" be in the case of St.George's? Tooting Bec
Common maybe? :-)

It already has several bus routes that stop outside - and one which goes
through the grounds. But many Londoners are strange about using buses -
can't be bothered to look up the routes - and the nearest tube is quite a
hike away. Takes about a 1/4 hour to walk from it for someone who is fit.

I was more referring to other towns which may well not have as good PT as
London.
