It's very easy to find out where records are thanks to the Hospital Records Database
https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/h...chdatabase.y=0
Records are at what is now called the Kent History and Library Centre.
You didn't mention a date so can't give more detailed advice.

PS Records are filed under the name "Oakwood Hospital".
