Concerns have been raised about plans to “decommission” Wearside’s Nightingale Hospital as part of wider changes to the region’s Covid-19 vaccination programme – though health chiefs say it is no longer needed.
The North East’s Nightingale Hospital is based in a city council-owned unit at the International Advanced Manufacturing Park near Nissan, Washington.
The facility had been built as a research centre for the automotive industry but was taken over by the NHS at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic as a temporary hospital and then a vaccination centre.
