The major problem was they kept the royal naval hospital haslar open. Wrong hospital wrong place. Have heard arguments about all the military hospitals and the pros and cons of opening one. The major problem occuring is the military ethos in the MDHU's is slipping away. And Doctors and Nursing staff are really pissed of and are leaving many left the NHS because the military claimed to offer them somethng different.
Out on tellic i we had numerous chats about the future we suspect that it will all centralise into Birmingham. But we agreed Haslar was the wrong hospital in the wrong place. And the best place would have been Wroughton with the land on the site being developed into accomidation and storage for at least 1 field hospital as well. But I see its now been demolished.
