Rejected petition Build a new acute hospital for East Kent,

We call for a new hospital to replace outdated sites, ensuring safe, accessible care for all East Kent residents. This must be centrally located, with full emergency services and future-proofed capacity.

More details

East Kent’s hospital system is fragmented, outdated, and unsafe for many. Lives are at risk due to delays, poor access, and lack of emergency services. A new central hospital is vital for dignity, safety, and future-proofed care. We’ve waited too long — action is urgent.
