A multi-million pound transformation of Stepping Hill Hospital has been given the go-ahead. Plans for the new emergency and urgent care campus for the Stockport hospital have now been approved.
The £30 million project will see the A&E and urgent care services for tens of thousands of people in the borough 'significantly improved', according to hospital design bosses. The investment will bring a 'major new facility' to make Stepping Hill's A&E unit into a 'state-of-the-art' and 'more efficient' treatment centre.
Work on the extension, which will increase the size of the current clinical area by more than 300 square metres, is due to start on site this year. The building work will include new assessment, treatment and consultation areas for vital emergency and care services - as well as a new children’s emergency department, enhanced mental health care, and medical same-day emergency care.
