station (Radio Hillingdon), staffed by volunteers. Criticism Hillingdon Hospital has received criticism over the years: in 2003, there was a case of post-mortem desecration of a body. Additionally, a high MRSA hospital infection rate was recorded; and several complaints regarding the expensive parking on site. Hygiene standards have been criticised on several occasions, achieving the dubious award of being fourth worst for hygiene in a survey from the Healthcare Commission. Hillingdon Hospital is in a very poor state of repair. Children had to be moved out of the paediatric ward and paediatric outpatients units were closed because patient safety could not be guaranteed. The hospital needs to be completely rebuilt but there is disagreement over where the new hospital should be. In September 2019, the Trust received a share, as one of 21 hospitals, of a £100 million fund to develop a business case for its redevelopment. A full redevelopment at its current site is expressed as its preferred option, and the trust is working to a timeline which would grant it approval for its business case and for construction to start in July 2022, and for construction to be completed in September 2025.
