Proposed new Royal Preston site The Royal Preston Hospital should be refurbished where it stands rather than a new one being built eight miles away in South
Preston City Council leader Matthew Brown on sepsis, two week hospital stay and paramedics breaking down the doorReview: A visit to the Preston restaurant that’s Thai-ing up Lane EndsThe Royal Preston Hospital should be refurbished where it stands rather than a new one being built eight miles away in South Ribble.
“Ideally, what we want is an urgent treatment centre in the centre of Preston. The Royal Preston over concentrated, so…there’d be more space having moved the acute services out. He also echoed the sentiment of Preston City Council leader Matthew Brown by expressing concern over the impact of the current proposal on those residents most likely to need hospital services.
However, while the government released the money to buy the land, it has not yet completed its ongoing review of the nationwide slate of new hospital projects – meaning funding for the building itself has yet to be confirmed. But the land deal has understandably been seen as a positive sign of a favourable outcome.
If the plans come to pass, the facility will open in the mid-2030s and Sir Lindsay said he was “delighted” at the prospect of it springing up so close to Chorley – in a place which he said made sense for the whole of Central Lancashire. South Ribble MP Paul Foster – in whose constituency the new facility would stand – said the site was “the right choice without any doubt”.“We are now continuing negotiations with the Secretary of State to ensure the final business case is signed off next year – and we can then begin the formal planning to get this built,” Mr. Foster said.
