Tony Bell continues: “I am delighted to be here at Chelsea and Westminster. The strong link between Chelsea and Westminster and the community we serve has never been more important than at this time when the future of the hospital is at stake.”
Aside from the Shaping a healthier future consultation, there are many exciting projects underway at the hospital including the building of a new Diagnostic Centre to bring together key diagnostic services in the hospital and a new Midwifery-Led Unit in Maternity which will enable an additional 1,000 women a year to have their babies at Chelsea and Westminster.
