The public consultation on the future of Mount Vernon Cancer Centre is now open and runs until 29 March 2026.

The first in-person event will be held on:

Tuesday 10 February 2026, at the Rufus Centre Flitwick from 10.30am – 12noon.
You can book your place now.

There will also be another in-person event, held in Luton. The date for this is to be confirmed.

Mount Vernon Cancer Centre – What’s being proposed?

The main proposal is to relocate the cancer centre to a new, purpose-built facility next to Watford General Hospital.

The new centre would bring modern, specialist services together on one site, with access to the full range of medical and surgical care needed for high quality cancer treatment.

It would continue to support patients across Hertfordshire, north west London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and east Berkshire.

The proposals also include:

  • More chemotherapy, diagnostics and follow up care in local hospitals
  • Increased chemotherapy at home
  • Reduced travel for routine appointments

A key part of the consultation is the option for a second radiotherapy unit at either:

  • Luton and Dunstable Hospital, or
  • Lister Hospital, Stevenage

This would be in addition to radiotherapy at the new main centre and would improve access for people living in the north of the current Mount Vernon catchment area.

Join the consultation event, and have your say.
