Business representatives are being invited to tour the new Scarborough Hospital expansion site this month.

They will also hear exclusively about the plans to improve patients' experience with family rooms, relatives' accommodation and new gardens.

Jo Thompson, leader of the Scarborough Business Ambassadors, said people will be amazed at the scale of the project and the rate at which it is progressing.

She said: "I hope the business community will join us at our new Business Breakfast Club which is working alongside the York and Scarborough Hospitals Charity to host a special meeting, including a tour of the new-look hospital as it is being built.

"I do hope you will be able to attend. Let's show the health service and all its employees how much we value them and how we can support them."

The event is taking place on Thursday 26th January at the Postgraduate Centre at Scarborough Hospital YO12 6QL, from 8am to 9.30am, followed by the tour.

People can book directly using the Business Breakfast Club link.

Tickets are only ÂŁ10. The proceeds will go to the Urgent and Emergency Care Appeal at Scarborough Hospital, which is set up to raise money for the improved patient experience at the new hospital including family rooms, relaxation spaces and more.

Jo said: "At our last meeting, SBA director Su Richings introduced the appeal to raise ÂŁ400,000 for projects to make a stay in hospital a more pleasant experience.

"In support of the appeal, we agreed that a business club would be created."
