The new Health Centre at West Byfleet opened in July 2003 is now hot on heart failure thanks to the generosity of the Busenhart Morgan Evans Foundation which donated a state of the art echo-cardiogram machine costing more than £60,000. Anne Lee (Woking Liberal Democrat's Parliamentary Spokesperson) was shown around the centre by Doctors Philip and Annette Cummin and learned how West Byfleet and Woking patients now have rapid access to checks for heart failure and other heart conditions using the new echo machine at the Centre. The scanner is also used by a visiting consultant radiologist to carry out abdominal scans. The funding for this is met by regular donations from The Friends of West Byfleet Health Centre.
