In February 2016, Herts Valley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioned an external professional review of potential alternative sites for the location of acute hospital services for West Hertfordshire. This was to ensure a full understanding of the range of sites available and those that might provide a viable alternative to the current location of services at Watford.

The CCG commissioned Amec Foster Wheeler to carry out the review, which took place between March and July 2016. The final report was published in August 2016 and is available on the CCG’s website:

Amec Foster Wheeler liaised with Hertfordshire County Council, all relevant district borough councils and Crown Estates representatives in developing this report.
