Preston and Lancaster are each to get a brand new hospital - but both could be at least a decade away from being built.
“[This will give] us the freedom to design our services and facilities around the needs of our patients, future-proofing services for the next generation,” Mr. McGee added.
Jerry Hawker, senior responsible officer for the Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals Programme – who previously told the Post that wholly new facilities offered “the chance to do everything right for the first time” - said that the government announcement “brings our plans to offer the absolute best in modern healthcare and address significant problems with the current ageing hospital buildings a step closer”.
“We look forward to working closely with the national New Hospital Programme team to determine the specific allocation of funding for Lancashire and South Cumbria so that we can understand what this means for our local communities.” Aaron Cummins, chief executive of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General - which will also see improvements funded - said: “This once-in-a-generation opportunity will be a huge contribution to our recovery as a health and care system after Covid-19, bringing new facilities and much needed investment into our patch for the benefit of patients and colleagues.
