Summary

  1. 'Deep concerns' over rumoured new hospital locationpublished at 10:52 GMT 22 January

    Streeting is asked what he can say about the location for the new Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey.

    It's due to replace the current hospital, with construction work expected to begin in 2030.

    Speculation has been rising since December that it will be built on Pine Ridge Golf Club in Frimley, prompting “deep concerns” from Surrey Heath Borough Council.

    Two-thirds of the current hospital was built using reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), which can fail when exposed to moisture, prompting plans for a new building.

    When asked about concerns over the proposed site, Streeting said: “It’s legitimate for local representatives and the community to voice opinions and express concerns, and for us to make sure we get the big decisions right.”

  2. The faster alternative to A&Epublished at 09:59 GMT 22 January

    Staff working at the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at Woking Community Hospital say they are there to take pressures off A&E.

    The "vast majority" of patients who walk through their doors are treated there and then sent home, bosses say.

    Chief Executive Officer Renée Padfield describes community providers as "one of the bedrocks" of the health service.

    While it may feel natural to go to the nearest hospital when feeling unwell, she said A&E departments across Surrey were facing "real pressures".

    "So people might go there, but they'll have quite long waits," she added.

    "If you come here to us at Woking Community Hospital, your wait is likely to be shorter."

  3. 'We are very busy, particularly weekends'published at 09:37 GMT 22 January

    At Surrey's Haslemere Urgent Treatment Centre, which is based in a community hospital, demand has been so high that they have increased from opening five days a week to every day.

    NHS bosses are keen for patients to use centres like this to take the pressure of A&E departments.

    Charlotte Morley, lead practitioner, said: “We are very busy, particularly weekends and Mondays, but that's the same as the main site in the emergency department.

    “We see about 1,900 patients a month here.”

    Standing beside an old tractor and probably the "biggest pile of silage you've ever seen", BBC Radio Surrey's James Cannon is reporting live from Norbury Park Farm in Guildford.

    "You might have heard a bit of mooing in the background there. It is a beautiful morning. The sun has risen. There are a few wispy clouds.

    "I've seen cows already be milked this morning. Loads more are waiting to go and have a little bit of a feed. Others are just looking at me thinking what on earth are you doing, as many of us have probably asked.

    "There is a rumour one of the cows is in calf and we could have a baby before 10 o'clock.

    "If that happens, it will be wonderful. If not, we'll be here all day."
