2016-11-04  -   CHANCELLOR PHILIP HAMMOND MP VISITS GOLDSWORTH HOSPICE SITE

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond MP, recently visited Reside's new build for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices.

The minister, who visited in his capacity as Member of Parliament for Runnymede and Weybridge, was given an extensive tour of the hospice. The Goldsworth site will provide palliative and community care to his constituency when the existing Sam Beare Hospice moves its services from Weybridge Hospital.

Mr Hammond said, "I am very impressed with the way the original building has been innovatively reworked to save costs and I am pleased to see how the new hospice is taking shape. There is great potential in the improved Wellbeing Centre and education suite and all of the bedrooms are a very generous size. From the new Hospice, the clinical teams will be able to deliver an even better level of specialist end of life care to residents within my constituency for many more generations to come."
