“It’s an exciting time to be involved as the NHS 10 year plan is put into action and more community-based healthcare is on the agenda.”
At the same time, the trust is moving ahead with plans for the new hospital, which offers a real opportunity to contribute to ensuring the right healthcare is provided for our communities, for now and in the future.”
