Mental health workers will know within weeks where, or if, they will be moved in a £160m shake-up of service provision.

Doctors and NHS England bosses will scrutinise surveys carried out by South West London and St George's mental health trust (SWLSTG), which runs Tolworth and Springfield hospitals, that were designed to guide a revamp of "unsuitable" facilities. The trust's preferred plan, of centralising all care in Springfield and Tolworth, would be funded by selling land. The changes could mean patients are no longer seen at Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton, which treats 500 a year.

It was revealed last summer that SWLSTG planned to reduce inpatient beds across south-west London by 10 percent before 2018, and treat more people in the community. Results of a public consultation, published on Monday, will be weighed up by NHS England and GPs on clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) over the next three weeks.

SWLSTG, which covers Kingston, Merton, Sutton, Richmond and Wandsworth, is battling for foundation trust status, which confers greater financial independence. It must make a £32m spending cut by 2020. SWLSTG bosses said the preferred revamp plan will save £26m over 50 years and improve conditions.

The results of its consultation will be debated at a Kingston CCG meeting at 1pm on Tuesday, March 3, at the King's Centre in Chessington. Wandsworth CCG will hold its meeting on March 11 at its offices in Upper Richmond Road, East Putney, at 9.30am. A final decision on which plan to implement will be taken at the end of March by the cross-borough joint health overview and scrutiny committee.

SWLSTG contacted more than 7,000 people as part of its consultation including staff, patients, carers and public bodies. It also held meetings in five boroughs and set up a dedicated Twitter account to gather responses. Some 283 people responded to the survey. A further 76 wrote letters or emails, while 191 attended question-and-answer meetings. Two people responded on Twitter. A second option that would see services retained at Queen Mary's garnered only 30 percent support from people who gave an opinion - with more than half disagreeing or strongly disagreeing with it.

People who backed the second plan said poor public transport and congested roads could cause problems for patients and their families if they had to travel further.
