Talk to us about our proposals
We want everyone who lives in Sutton, Merton and Surrey Downs, to have an opportunity to read about our proposals for Epsom and St Helier hospitals, respond to our questions, contribute their own ideas and take part in the public consultation.
Your views on our proposals are really important to us. We are keen to hear how you think these proposed changes would impact on you and your family, what you like about our plans and what worries you and if there is anything else you would like to tell us or that you think we have missed.
We will be doing as much as we can to make sure local people know about our proposed changes, why change is needed, how you can share your views and when and where consultation meetings and events are being held.
All the information about our proposals can be found here on our website including the consultation questionnaire. These are also available in easy read, audio and different languages by using the Browsealoud icon (orange button in the bottom right corner of the screen).
You can also request hard copies, easy read versions or copies in other languages or formats (braille, audio) by contacting us. Copies will also be made available at our events and in public places such as GP surgeries, the hospitals and libraries.

Feedback gathered at events and on social media will also be considered and included within the consultation report.
