ANDOVER’S largest surgery is moving inside the town’s hospital as part of a multi-million-pound redevelopment to cope with rising demand, the Advertiser can reveal.

Andover Health Care Centre Medical Practice, in Charlton Road, will transfer to a brand new, purpose-built wing inside Andover War Memorial Hospital.

It comes after health care bosses said the current surgery, which treats 14,000 people, is not “fit for purpose”.
