As you will all have gathered life working with The National Health Service has not been easy within the last year, hence many of Cranleigh Village Hospital's aspirations have not come to fruition.

We had hoped by now to have been well on the way towards building a new state of the art community hospital on a new site in the heart of Cranleigh.  Work was to have started last July.  However, for a number of different reasons which are all explained in the Newsletter on the website, we have been unable to move forward as quickly as we would have wished.

CVHT want to make it clear to everyone that it is still working tirelessly behind the scenes to provide the healthcare that our community needs and wants.  It also wishes to make it clearly understood that the community we serve is not restricted to Cranleigh, it never has been.  You will see a map attached to the website which covers the area the hospital will serve.  Cranleigh hospital has served patients from many other parts of the Waverley and Guildford boroughs for many years.

Although fundraising has been dealt a heavy blow since the hospital was closed ias "an urgent temporary measure" by the now abolished Guildford and Waverley Primary Care Trust, we are continuing to receive funds.  In fact only last week we received a very substantial donation of £17,000 from Cranleigh Public School, and for which we are enormously grateful.

We will hold a public meeting early in the new year in the meantime, we wish all our supporters, a very Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year.
