The future of the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital (RNOH) is a matter for the local national health service (NHS).
However, I am informed that NHS London's Capital Investments Committee discussed proposals for the future of the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital in a meeting on 14 January 2008. The Capital Investments Committee confirmed that it is seeking an outline business case for development of the RNOH's Stanmore site. NHS London expects to receive a fully worked up outline business case from the Trust by the end of February 2008.
