Proposed Changes to Moorfields Eye Hospital
About the public consultation
The consultation will run until 16 September 2019. It is being led by NHS Camden Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on behalf of all 14 CCGs who have patients who use Moorfields, together with NHS England Specialised Commissioning.
Eye care services would move to the new centre, along with Moorfields’ partner in research and education, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity. The proposed new centre would be a development on land at the site of St Pancras Hospital, just north of King’s Cross and St Pancras stations in central London. If the move were to go ahead, Moorfields and UCL would sell their current land at City Road and all proceeds of the sale would be reinvested in the new centre.
A decision to proceed to the next planning stages will be made by January 2020. Commissioners will decide whether the proposed move is:
- in the interests of the health of our populations, locally and nationally
- in line with our long-term plans to improve health and care
- an effective use of public money.
Camden CCG, Moorfields and NHS England are keen to hear the views of as many service users and families, local people, staff and other stakeholders as possible during the consultation period.
The full consultation document, survey questions and additional information on the consultation are available on the Oriel website here.
There are public open meetings planned, where you can attend to ask any questions you may have. Dates and venues will be listed on the Oriel website shortly.
