a gifted house used as a home by nurses and vital care staff as hospital tries to sell it

A LEADING private hospital has told nursing and care staff to quit their homes just a week before Christmas – as it seeks to sell off a building left to it by a grateful patient.

The London Clinic, based in Harley Street, owns a block in Primrose Hill which for more than four decades has provided employees with affordable housing. It allows nurses and other vital care staff the opportunity to live in bedsit-style flats near the hospital so they can be on-call.

But last month the hospital gave nearly 60 staff members notice to quit their homes in Vernon House, St Mark’s Square, before Christmas. The block was gifted to the hospital in the late 60s or early 70s.
