CheltenhamMPAlexChalk provides an update on the successful campaign on themulti-million pound bid forCheltenhamGeneralHospital
I amabsolutely delighted that Cheltenham’smulti-million pound bid for capital investment in CheltenhamGeneralHospital has been successful. This is hugely significant. It
means thatCGHwill be getting a multi-million pound upgrade, to include refittedwards for inpatients, additional theatres and plentymore
besides.After a decade inwhich it felt like our hospitalwas being passed over for investment, this is so, sowelcome. I alsowelcome the assurances fromNHS bosses that this
“Make no mistake, the campaign to improve and revitalise Cheltenham goes on.”
investment does not pre- determine the outcome of the STP (plan for future health services inGloucestershire).A consultationwill take place later in the year. Iwill continue to campaign not just for the retention of our localA&E, but for the restoration of 24/7 cover.
Make nomistake, the campaign
to improve and revitalise Cheltenhamgoes on. This funding boost for our hospital is part of a pattern ofmajor, transformational, investment inCheltenham. We’vewon £22mfrom
Government to support our cyber future. £3mwill be coming to support newaffordable housing in Portland Place.We have secured vital funding to tackle rough sleeping inCheltenham.Our secondary schools are receiving an extra £600per
pupil.Work improvingCheltenhamSpa station and the introduction of sub 2hour London trains is about to start. Meanwhile, the public consultation on the £500mA417AirBalloon schememeanswe are a step closer to the biggest road improvement scheme in Gloucestershire for a generation. There is somuchmore Iwant to
achieve.But this is truly fantastic news.
