Andrew was involved in their discussion but one of his comments that took place included this comment

I would like to end by providing a more general update on the ambitious and vital work that we are undertaking as part of the new hospitals programme. I am very pleased that four hospital are now open to patients: the Northern Centre for Cancer Care; the Royal Liverpool Hospital; stage 1 of the Louisa Martindale, also known as the 3Ts hospital—trauma, tertiary and training—in Brighton; and the Northgate and Ferndene hospitals in Northumberland. A further hospital, the Salford Royal major trauma centre, is complete and due to open shortly. Another 17 hospitals are either in construction or in early construction with activity well under way to prepare their sites. This includes surveys and crucial work on non-clinical infrastructure, such as energy centres, demolitions or car parking.

It is very significant in Brighton that a new Hospital Building called “The Louisa Martindale Building” which is defined as “The Louisa Martindale is now fully open and is the home to 28 clinical wards and departments. It is the new main entrance for the hospital with connections to the rest of the hospital and the new underground car park.” and the text for Louisa is “Louisa Martindale, CBE FRCOG (30 October 1872 – 5 February 1966) was an English physician, surgeon, and writer. She also served as magistrate on the Brighton bench, was a prison commissioner and a member of the National Council of Women.”
