Notice From Goring Hall Hospital
Throughout the first few months of 2024, we are undergoing work internal and external development to the hospital and grounds.

We are upgrading some of our Ilex Ward Rooms, and our public toilets we are also building a new car park with 35 spaces, electrical charging points and a bicycle shed.

During this time there will be periods of noise which we are unable to avoid.  We are working with the teams of Contractors to keep this noise to a minimum.

We apologise in advance for any disruption and inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding whilst these upgrades take place.
