The STEP partnership will work alongside South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG) to build the new hospitals worth £160 million at the Trust's Springfield and Tolworth sites, with additional housing also being developed in a parkland setting.
The projects form part of SWLSTG's Estate Modernisation Programme which will bring forward a range of benefits to both users and the local community:
