Protect Shotley Bridge Hospital - Durham Liberal Democrats

Don't Betray Shotley Bridge Hospital

Consett Liberal Democrats are demanding the Government commits to more beds and services at the replacement for Shotley Bridge Hospital.

Delays to the project meant that health officials were tasked with bringing costs down. This has meant that there may be little ability to increase the 16 beds planned at the new site. It also means services are under risk. This includes a reduction in planned cancer treatments at the new hospital.

Commenting, Liberal Democrat councillor for Consett North Kathryn Rooney said: “Please back the Liberal Democrat campaign to increase beds and protect services at the new build Shotley Bridge Hospital. 16 beds just isn’t enough for our town".

Councillor Dominic Haney, Liberal Democrat for Consett South, added: “Local Lib Dems fear that this replacement will be a hospital downgrade. The devil will be in the detail, which is why we need your support to show the Government that we need more beds and services at our local hospital".
