The West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust will host a public meeting on 14 May 2026 to update the community on hospital services in Watford, Hertfordshire. The session will take place from 12:45 pm to 3:00 pm, offering a chance for residents to hear how local health services are being managed.
A key topic for the board will be the progress of the new Watford General Hospital building project. Main construction on the site is now expected to start in 2032, following updated government timelines, though current preparation work is continuing on the site.
The meeting will follow a public consultation about moving the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre to the Watford site. This consultation is set to close on 29 March 2026, and leaders are expected to discuss how the move would fit into the new hospital plans.
People who want to ask a specific question during the meeting must send it to the trust’s Corporate Governance Team by 1:00 pm on Tuesday, 12 May 2026. This deadline ensures that board members have time to review the questions before the meeting starts.
