The District Council's favoured location is Mid-Town. The building may not have in-patient beds, but "step-up and step-down" beds will be provided locally.
It never was and never will be, an all singing, all dancing, full general hospital.
I know about the saying "you can't please all the people all of the time", but this long-running hospital debate has split Dover so much that those providing the service (PCT/EKHT) are almost walking away.
I'm sure that if the Mid-Town site had been supported, then everyone would have got behind it and the flood-risk problems could have been resolved.
I still think the flood-risks need to be resolved anyway, because if they aren't, then no Mid-Town development can go ahead; also many houses in and around the Maison Dieu area will have their flood-risk issues resolved.
Part of the Mid-Town problem is that there is an increasing amount of money being made available for the alleviation of the flood-risks, but maybe it'll (probably) be outside the time limit set by the PCT/EKHT.
