I am pleased and relieved to see that our campaign for the Government to re-commit to funding promised by the Conservative Government, for Leicester’s two new hospitals has been successful.
This much-needed funding means our NHS can now continue to move forward with work for two new hospitals, a midwifery-led unit and multi-storey car park – which will be revolutionary for patients and staff across our area!
Everyone who has been around the Leicester Royal, Glenfield or Leicester General hospitals will know how difficult it is and how much work they need. I’m thrilled that the Government has listened to our community who came together to call for this! While it is now looking like 2030-2035, at least our local NHS can now plan towards this timeline, even if it has been delayed by the Government's review.
