West Suffolk NHS Trust reveals where new health facility will go
It's one of forty new healthcare buildings planned across the country following a pledge from the Government for funding.
The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has revealed where it wants a planned new healthcare facility to go.
It's proposing to use Hardwick Manor as the site for the facility, one of forty which is being funded by the Government around the country.
The trust says it'll replace the existing Hardwick Lane building, which has reached the end of its life, as well as maintaining links with other organisations in the area.
WSFT’s chief executive Stephen Dunn said: “One of the benefits about this proposal is the possibility of keeping some of the current site based at Hardwick Lane including many of the most recent additions such as the education centre and eye care centre, allowing us to make the best use of public funds.
“The Trust is also incredibly fortunate to have partner organisations on our site such as St Nicholas Hospice and mental health provider Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. If we can be based at the site of Hardwick Manor, this will mean that close relationships with co-located services such as these can continue. We are keen to develop further integrated working with our health and care colleagues.
“The vision for the project is to ensure the way that health services are delivered is fit for our current and future needs.
“We will be providing ways for you to give your feedback on designs and services. We want to work with the people who this affects the most. We want to work together to make real change and devise what is needed.”
