“These will help to improve care and allow patients to be seen more quickly, which will help to cut waiting lists – one of the government’s top five priorities,” the minister added.Asked by the LDRS what the purpose of the visit had been when the Lancashire and South Cumbria region had already persuaded Whitehall to part with the cash needed to build the two new facilities, Jerry Hawker said that it was important to “make the new hospitals programme real for everybody”.
After Wednesday’s ministerial visit, he told the LDRS that the region had been given “very clear indications now regarding the capital investment that will go into the hospitals”. A concept known as “Hospital 2.0”, it prompted Chorley councillor and retired GP Margaret France to warn that a “one-size-fits-all” building would not be suitable for a hospital like the Royal Preston, which offers a range of specialist services for the wider Lancashire and South Cumbria region.
The Lancashire and South Cumbria scheme is in the fourth of four “cohorts” within the nationwide New Hospitals Programme, placing it amongst the largest and most complex projects. To that end, there will be consultation with a range of groups, including the workforce, which Mr. McGee says is “really engaged and really excited” about the necessary planning that will now follow.
