Update on Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Hospitals Consultation
The three NHS clinical commissioning groups covering Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland are carrying out a public consultation into proposals to spend £450 million transforming acute hospital and maternity services.
Engagement has taken place on the future of local hospitals over a number of years and we are delighted to now be in a position, with funding agreed in principle, for the proposals to be under-going public consultation.
We would like to give as many people in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland the opportunity to share their views and we appreciate how valuable your support to the local community is. We are asking if you will please help by spreading the word to the local people about the consultation through your own communications channels. This link www.bettercareleicester.nhs.uk/news-and-media-centre/partner-toolkit/ provides a toolkit of resources including a PowerPoint presentation, newsletter articles, leaflets and social media content and additional contents.
The consultation, which runs until 21 December 2020, concerns the services delivered at the three main hospitals in Leicester, run by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, as well as services delivered at the midwifery-led unit at St Mary’s Hospital, Melton Mowbray.
The Building Better Hospitals for the Future proposals are set to deliver a number of significant changes in improving patient care, achieving better patient outcomes, and getting staff all working in the best place to make this happen.
The proposals would provide 139 more hospital beds and change acute and maternity services by moving all acute care to the Leicester Royal Infirmary and to Glenfield Hospital.
Among the many exciting developments, this huge investment would see the creation of a major planned care treatment centre at the Glenfield Hospital, the first dedicated single-site children’s hospital in the East Midlands, and two ‘super’ intensive care units with 100 beds in total at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and Glenfield Hospital. It is proposed that a new ‘community health campus’ with non-acute services (and some in-patient beds) would be created on the site of Leicester General Hospital.
The proposals will help achieve a local healthcare system fit for the 21st Century. We would encourage you to visit the website www.betterhospitalsleicester.nhs.uk to view the full consultation document and have your say via the consultation questionnaire.
If you do need further resource to assist you with sharing the information on the consultation, please contact us on 0116 295 0750 or email beinvolved@LeicesterCityCCG.nhs.uk, and we will try our best to accommodate you.
