The government decided the existing hospital infrastructure would not be able to cope, and set about locating a site away from Ashford town centre, with a proposed area of around {{convert|30|acre}} and a budget of £7–8 million.[4] Work started on building the hospital in 1973,[5] and it was commissioned in 1977[6] and opened in 1979.[7][8] The old hospital remained open as a smaller unit, and by the 1980s it had become a hospital for the elderly.[3] The hospital currently employs about 2,500 people[9] and has 476 beds as of March 2012.[6] It includes a shop run by the Friends of the William Harvey Hospital, a volunteer run society that provides basic goods and services to patients and visitors, and has raised £2.5 million in donations for the hospital.[10] The Rotary Suite of the hospital is run by Spencer Private Hospitals, providing private treatments such as cosmetic surgery.[11] In April 2014 it was reported that the East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust was looking for a partner to develop a private unit at the William Harvey site and enhance the returns from the Spencer private hospital on the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital site with a contract over the next 15 years.[12] CriticismIn 1978, Keith Speed, MP for Ashford, criticised proposals that some services would require patients to be bussed back to the old hospital when William Harvey Hospital opened.[13] In 2000, the press reported that staff shortages at the hospital were putting patient's lives at risk, which drew local MP Damian Green to criticise the management of the NHS in parliament.[14] Green continued to complain about the state of the hospital, noting in 2001 that patients had been waiting in the accident and emergency department for 24 hours.[15] In 2013, hospital staff members threatened to quit due to proposed increases in parking permit charges from March 2014. In some cases, the cost of a permit was planned to rise by over £500. One staff member reported that "Every day on the news there's somebody slagging off the NHS. Nobody ever says anything nice about us. No wonder morale is low here."[16] See also
