One of the large hospital projects to be landed this autumn is in Innlandet. After former health minister Bent Høie said yes to a new main hospital in Moelv, two alternatives were to be investigated further. New main hospital in Moelv. Keep the current hospital structure and replace Hamar hospital with a new hospital at Sanderud in Stange – the so-called zero-plus alternative. It is these two studies that a steering group in Health South-East has now assessed, and today they presented their recommendation.

Satisfied county mayor in Innlandet, Even Aleksander Hagen (Ap) thinks this is a sensible choice. – We have to think about the future and then the best thing for the patients and their relatives, and I also mean for the employees, is to get the professional communities together and to go for a large hospital, says Hagen.
