Defence Medical Services - what's left?

Where were the military hospitals, and what state are they in now?

Ely - partly demolished, but taken over by East Cambs and Fenland PCT as Princess of Wales hospital.
Halton - still owned by the MOD? Empty (gutted?) falling into disrepair.
Haslar - still open but for disposal, with development planned for site.
Nocton Hall - closed 82, closed after USAF use 95, identified for disposal, roof collapsed after arson attack 2004.
Wroughton - closed 96, presumably demolished as site now a housing development.

So which were the others?

Headley Court? Wegberg? Cambridge (Aldershot) and Princess Louise Margaret (Aldershot - where I was born!)?

I wonder how many survive (even if closed), and remain on MoD land. And which, like Halton, could be resurrected given the money and the will?

And how about the various service nursing organisations?
