Full story: New plans for Wycombe Hospital (From Bucks Free Press)

Unbelievable. Too many lowlifes not working and living off benefits and taking money from the system is the main cause in this country for it not being able to support worth while expenses like hospitals. I so wish they would get rid of benefits. Before all the bleating about 'what about the people who need it' etc, etc, you know exactly what type of benefit claiments I am refering too!

The obvious thing to do with Wycombe Hospital, once it is just an empty shell is to pull it down and build a football stadium on the site.

Suprised no-one has thought of that before...

please elaborate more which benifits people are you on about, also are you a person who can afford to go private,

i think the best place to build a new hospital is on part of the booker airfield land, as where the M40 is a junction on the motorway can be made, also Ambulance drivers would not have a hetic dangerous drive to stoke manderville, NHS bosses are **** moving and down grading A & E when you have a mjor motorway on the door step, more and more people will lose there lives because of the so called we know what we are doing **** NHS bosses, who are more likely private patients if they become ill

Far from it! I could not afford to go private as I earn an average wage! I am talking about the multitude and unfortunatley growing number of families that their only vocation in life is to have as many babies as possible and never do a days work in their lives!! I am sure you know exactly the type of citizen I am refering to unless you yourself live amoungst the clouds?

“Instead of patients being seen and admitted by the on-call team (who in many cases will not be the ‘right’ team for their condition) patients will be seen by the appropriate team for their condition at a much earlier stage."

-- Yes, a coroner.

How does one close a hospital bed?

(Signed ArnyP - works a 40hr week and claims benefits so that he can afford to raise a family).

This is one of the dirtiest and foul smelling hospitals in the country. Here are some examples of current disgusting standards.
1] The windows in many wards are Aluminium supported with wooden frames. When you touch them they are filled with bacteria. And the sealants used to support these windows are mouldy with black fungus and insects crawling out of them. Aluminium is the worst material ever contemplated to be used in a hospital.
2] The recent removal of Asbestos in and near the Third/Fourth Floors is a recognition that the whole Hospital is full of this most insidious material. And to think that this Asbestos was near the wards where people are being nursed back from respiratory diseases. How can the administration accept this?
3] Waiting four hours to clear the bins that contain yellow bags from "aged" and "other" persons in Ward 4B and elsewhere (these often contain urine and faeces as well as ulcerous skin debris!) is a total health hazard for other patients in the Ward. This practice is disgusting and should not be allowed to continue. It also happens in other wards.
4] When patients leave their ward beds why aren't these beds deep cleaned like any others we see in other countries?
Why aren't their lockers also cleaned out so that another patient can be sure that his/her own personal goods do not get contaminated with a previous patient's apparel? (If you say that they are they are not!)
5] Why is it that there has never been any attempt to control the cleanliness of the stairways and lifts in the main hospital.
Take a look at the dust in these and also note that there are still asbestos fibres in the atmosphere.
6] The security issues in the front of the Hospital do not stop anyone from entering the Hospital. If this was a Business – and many people reading these notes will agree – everyone entering their premises would have to be logged in and logged out under Health and Safety Legislation.
7] When was an inventory last made of the Staffing (Nurses and Doctors etc.) going in and out of the Building to smoke? All around the Hospital there are tens and if not more areas where personnel bunk off to have their smokes whilst on Duty. What is going on here? Take a look outside at any time of the day and see for yourself! The area is littered with cigarette ends!
7] The Public Toilets (in the main Hospital Block - there is only one!) are invariably dirty and unclean.
8] The sanitary areas in some of the Wards contain Formica surfaces and these are scratched to pieces and are a breeding ground for vermin.
9] Any person entering the hospital can walk straight in off the street or off a farm and they can walk in with any manner of diseases on their foot wear and clothes. This means that they can walk in with any Dog Dirt or Faeces, Animal Manures, Sewage Sludge, Bacteria, Viruses, Animal Diseases (BSE, Scrappy, Horse Cough etc.) and Chemicals and Sprays or Whatever and these can and will be spread all around the Hospital! A Hospital claims to be a Healthy Environment for Treating Illnesses and not for Wantonly Spreading them.
10] Why is it that the Staff in the Hospital are banned from Reporting these issues?
11] Why doesn't the Hospital formally publish its Death Rates from Operations and Nursing as a Formal requirement we see practised in Other Hospitals.
12] How is it that the Hospital has got a Fire Certificate when some of the Doors to the building open inwards!
Has there ever been a proper fire drill at the hospital?
Sorry this hospital is so antiquated and so dirty it needs closing down!

I was absolutely disgusted when I read this & we should fight to save these services at Wycombe Hospital.
My mother was recently admitted as an emergency and the staff at the hospital acted fast & saved her life. She was in Ward 4B for a week & the care she received there was amazing. The staff have to cope with such difficult situations but rarely get recognition for the hard work they do & this is how they are repaid for doing a fantastic job!!
In an emergency, Stoke Mandeville is 40 mins at best & with a lot of cases time is often a matter of life or death. How can these so called Health Chiefs put a value on life, shame on you! How can taking away excellent services from a brilliant hospital & transferring them to hospitals which are already overstretched be a good idea? Give the public some credit please! I hope people will fight to stop this hospital being killed off as I know I will!

it is quite clear where this is going it will come to point when wycombe hospital can no longer treat anyone then it will be pulled down and filled with luxury appartments just wait and see
