NHS Property Services has this week published news regarding outline plans for a housing development on land near to the hospital site. This land is not part of the Countess of Chester hospital and is not part of the hospital's assets.
Three different NHS organisations are collectively based on what is called The Countess of Chester Health Park: The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the hospital); West Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (commissioners); and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (mental health and community services). A small number of other independent healthcare providers are also based on the site.
The historic land ownership arrangements are complex, and are managed completely independently of The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust by NHS Property Services.
