The trust special administrator’s report made clear that there should be an additional £37 million of investment at Kings and the three other hospitals so that they are properly resourced to take on the additional activity from Lewisham. No transfer of activity will take place without work to increase capacity having taken place across all four sites. Providers will need to develop business cases which will refine their requirements. The final decisions on funding for each individual hospital will be worked through as part of the implementation planning process, in collaboration with the Department to ensure value for money for the taxpayer.

Response times are set by the Department for ambulance services. Ambulance trusts are required to reach 75% of the most seriously ill and injured patients within eight minutes.

As of April 2012, in NHS England 26 designated major trauma centres (MTCs), shown as follows, now serve the public in the event of major national or regional incidents. They are the hub of regional trauma networks, composed of all the local hospitals and are also linked up to specialist services (such, as burns, spinal cord injury and paediatrics) as required. The whole network would be utilised, including local hospital trauma units, to disseminate patients far more effectively by best matching specialist resources and expertise to patients' needs.
