Epsom Hospital is a teaching hospital in Epsom, Surrey, England. The hospital is situated on Dorking Road 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south east of the centre of Epsom. It is managed by the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust along with the nearby St Helier Hospital.
In 2013, it was discovered that staff at the hospital and the neighbouring St Helier Hospital were accidentally overpaid by £294,000. A spokesman for the Epsom and St Helier trust responded by saying they "actively pursue overpayments via debt collection agencies who have demonstrated a very successful recovery rate." [14]
The hospital was commissioned by the London County Council and was the fourth institution of the Epsom Cluster of Hospitals. [1] It was designed by George Thomas Hine; re-use of existing plans from other asylums allowed the council to pass the plans through the development stage and approval by the Commissioners in Lunacy faster than a new plan.

The hospital seems to have been so-called because of its location to the west of the landscaped parkland formerly associated with Horton Manor (later the Manor Hospital). Although sometimes called an 'asylum' by urban explorers and the media, [1] West Park was never officially termed as such, having opened as West Park Mental Hospital in 1923.
