The present Ealing District Hospital was built in the late 1970s and opened 5 November 1979. Occupying part of St. Bernard's Hospital former grounds, the whole complex was renamed Ealing Hospital. At the same time, the King Edward Memorial was closed along with the nearby Hanwell Cottage Hospital in Green Lane and many of the services provided by the Southall-Norwood Hospital on The Green were transferred to the new hospital. With countless changes in government policy it has since split off the mental health services. It exists as an independent trust (since 1992), with the adjacent St. Bernard's Hospital regaining it old identity to provide mental health services once more.
