Save Hemel Hospital Hemel Hospital is under threat from closure. This is our chance to make a difference and get our voice heard by an NHS hospital trust that is un-democratically acting without a fair consultation.
The following towns are affected, whether due to their services closing, or being in the Hemel Hempstead Hospital catchment area: Berkhamstead, Tring, Abbots Langley, Kings Langley, St Albans, Berkhamsted, Bovingdon, Chipperfield, Chesham, Tring. Also in close proximity are the towns of Hatfield, Amersham, Aylesbury.
Remember Buncefield? Just imagine what could have happened if it had struck in the week with the M1 closed and no hospital? Imagine what could happen if another unseen disaster occurred in the area. Services are planned to move to Watford, or worse - with the possible closure of Watford General Hospital, a super-hospital somewhere between Hemel and Norfolk!
This would mean a catchment area population of nearly 500,000 people without critical Accident and Emergency (A&E) services
