Plans have been submitted to extend North Tyneside General Hospital's endoscopy department to help deal with Covid-19 backlogs.
The Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has submitted plans to extend the department to deal with additional appointments and backlogs following the pandemic. The plans come as the Trust receives funding from the Government's NHS Recovery Fund and can now invest in new equipment.
According to documents submitted by the Trust to North Tyneside Council, the proposed extension at Rake Lane would take up 90 square metres.
