Cllr Adam Hug, Leader of Westminster City Council, said: 

Today’s funding commitment allows Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust to accelerate planning and design work for the redevelopment of St Mary’s Hospital.

This will really boost efforts to explore and secure additional funding sources to cover the main construction costs, unlocking economic potential and speeding up delivery.

 The council is proud to be working with the Trust on a joint taskforce, to include our MPs and a range of other stakeholders and experts, to make this redevelopment a reality as soon as possible.

This is a huge step towards replacing the current Victorian era buildings and great news for Westminster where residents will benefit from new, improved facilities at London's busiest major trauma centre, which treats over a million patients each year.

We’re looking forward to working with Imperial College Healthcare to deliver a new 850 bed hospital and world leading research centre - securing the best care and new jobs for our city.
