Maudsley Site Updates: 

Many of our buildings are no longer fit for 21st century mental healthcare – and our new facilities will provide better, purpose-designed facilities for patients’ care and recovery, and for our staff. We will develop our Lambeth Hospital site, along with Mapother House, Michael Rutter Centre, and the Professorial Buildings at Maudsley site, as new housing.

This will help meet the need for more local homes. More than half of the developments will be affordable housing. It will help us fund our major investments in new, better mental healthcare facilities and services.

The redeveloped Douglas Bennett House will house most of the Lambeth Hospital wards and services, following extensive consultations with staff, commissioners and local people. CAMHS inpatient and outpatient services will move into the new Pears Maudsley Centre for Children and Young People. Ongoing discussions with service users, staff and partner organisations will support the moves, which are expected to take place in 2023.
