Mount Vernon Cancer Centre
Harrow Council debated plans to relocate the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, a specialist cancer treatment centre, due to safety concerns.
Harrow's Health and Wellbeing Board debated plans in March 2026 to relocate the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, which provides non-surgical cancer services, to a site adjacent to Watford General Hospital. A public consultation on this proposed move concluded on March 29, 2026, addressing concerns about the sustainability and safety of the current Northwood site.
The proposed relocation aims to resolve critical safety issues identified in a 2019 Independent Clinical Advisory Group report, which stated that maintaining patient safety at the existing centre could not be guaranteed. No further meetings or decisions are currently scheduled regarding the centre's future.
