Tooting MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan and Wandsworth Council leader Simon Hogg called the plans "deeply concerning".It follows an NHS England review of children's cancer care services, which made the decision that allshould have an onsite paediatric intensive care unit to improve safety and minimise the need for treatment having to take place at different locations.
The letter also stated the cost of redeveloping St George's to accommodate the whole facility is "estimated at £30m whereas it would be three times more expensive, at around £90m, to relocate all services to the Evelina".
