Local MP, Andrew George, warmly congratulated hospital staff, managers and campaigners following news that the green light has been given by government to deliver the much-needed Women & Children’s Hospital at the Treliske site. 

Andrew said: “Though we were confident the government had to give the go-ahead, it wasn’t a fully foregone conclusion. Congratulations to project managers, staff and campaigners on a first class effort to turn this around. 

“It was shocking to discover that the promised hospital had not been budgeted for by the previous Conservative government. This is great news. I just hope project managers can quickly get this back on track as soon as possible and to ensure it’s delivered as quickly as possible.”
