Why Not Build A New Hospice?

• The current hospice was built many years ago, its ageing facilities do not reach Marie Curie's own high standards or those required by law.
• Its limitations affected patients' comfort, their privacy and the standards of care they received.
• Facilities are limited. There are no en-suite bathrooms, toilets are located well away from rooms, there are few single rooms in the hospice and not enough accommodation for visiting families.
• The building's infrastructure is failing. The heating, windows and hot water tanks all need to be replaced. It also lacks piped oxygen, which is standard in all modern healthcare facilities.
• This is why a new hospice is the only answer.

The people of Glasgow have been given the chance to build a new hospice.

The people of East Surrey have been given excuses.
