In late 2005 Sutton and Merton Primary Care Trust decided that they needed to provide better facilities for staff and patients because:

• The premises could not be changed or modified any more to provide more and better services.
• The Practices and clinics are seeing more and more patients but we cannot extend the current building to provide any more space for more staff and services.
• The premises did not comply with the latest legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act and the Health and Safety Act.
• The design of the old building meant that we would not be able to make it comply.
