Frimley Park Hospital: The future of the hospital will be discussed by council
- Published
Plans for a replacement for Frimley Park Hospital are still to be finalised despite a warning the NHS trust must move swiftly to identify a new site.
An update on plans for a new hospital site will come before an adults and health select committee meeting at Surrey County Council on Thursday.
Frimley Park was built in the 1970s using reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac).
The unstable concrete makes up about 65% of the current building.
A trust spokesperson said site evaluation and detailed investigations were on schedule, with the hospital required by government to be rebuilt by 2030 as it is one of the seven worst affected by Raac.
The spokesperson added: "We are working with all our partners on a detailed programme schedule, including the timetable for the proposed build."
Redeveloping the current Frimley Park site was previously ruled out because of it being "already congested" and the "significant disruption" it would cause.
