Minor procedure and endoscopy unit: Good news at last
November 20, 2011 11:03 PM
NHS bosses look set to formally confirm the opening of Minor procedures and endoscopy unit to the first patients in January 2012.
This is the prefabricated unit that was produced in the United Aran Emirates, damaged in transit, much delayed and for which the contract had to be taken up by a new contractor when the original contractors went bust. The Unit is sited at St Luke's Market Harborough, and is a £2.4m first stage of the long awaited development of 21st century healthcare facilities for the town.
Cllr Phil Knowles, who played a major part in winning the investment commitment from the NHS, says:
"I understand that once the unit is handed over clinical commissioning will start. Staff training will begin in December and the first clinics will begin in January. I am delighted that after all the delays, we finally have some good news on the horizon. We should have a positive start to the new year and be able to look forward to further progress on meeting the healthcare needs of the community"
The NHS will outline the progress to the Health Overview Committee when it meets at County Hall on Wednesday.
