NHS Property Services statement on eve of Colyford meeting

Posted on

Property Services’ James page sent me this statement overnight:

NHSPS and Devon ICB met with Richard Foord MP and the CEO of Seaton and District Hospital League of Friends this week.

All rental valuations undertaken by NHSPS are in line with current market practice, and we engage with our customers directly to explore options and assist with lease terms where there may be potential financial difficulties. We remain committed to working closely with Devon ICB to help them address the ongoing issue of void space costs and finding a satisfactory resolution.

NHS refuses to attend Seaton Hospital public meeting – please make sure you’re there!

Posted on

The Devon NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB), who decided without public consultation to hand back a 2-storey wing of Seaton Hospital to the NHS Property Services company, have refused to send a speaker to address tomorrow’s public meeting (in Colyford Memorial Hall at 1.30). Property Services have also declined to attend.

Both Richard Foord MP and the League of Friends tell me that yesterday afternoon’s meeting with the ICB and Property Services produced no new way forward on the issue. At the ICB’s request, Paul Arnott, leader of EDDC, Jack Rowland and myself were all excluded from the meeting, which took place on Zoom although Richard had requested a site meeting.

Richard and the League will report in person at tomorrow’s meeting, which must now address the next steps. Please make sure you’re there!
