Parliament TV: Healthcare in Bordon and Haslemere was brought into the national spotlight this week as Gregory Stafford MP confronted Prime Minister Keir Starmer over what he described as a serious decline in local services. Speaking during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (June 4), Mr Stafford called for clearer answers and stronger government support, highlighting widespread concern about the future of both Chase Hospital in Bordon and Haslemere Hospital. Mr Stafford has played a leading role in ongoing discussions surrounding local healthcare provision. He is coordinating the newly formed Bordon Taskforce, which is due to meet again later this month. While the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB) has assured him there are no immediate plans to change services at Chase Hospital, longer-term decisions remain unresolved amid ongoing debate about the proposed Health Hub in the New Town Centre.
