“Without increasing our capacity, a significant proportion of children and young people would not be able to access specialist care, leading to delays to treatment, increased use of emergency care, and the potential for worse quality of life and long term outcomes.”

Evelina London said that it will continue to work with the staff, patients, and families to plan the design for the inside of the hospital.

The interiors of the new hospital would be designed in a manner that will allow the hospital team to make changes according to the needs of its patients and services in the future.
