Councils are currently considering the relocation of the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, which was subject to a public consultation in March 2026.

A public consultation on the proposed move to a site near Watford General Hospital concluded in March 2026. The relocation aims to address concerns about the sustainability and safety of oncology services at the current Northwood site.
