New healthcare facility

We have recently been confirmed as one of 40 Trusts across the country to receive funding for new build projects from the Government’s Health Infrastructure Plan.

The existing hospital buildings on Hardwick Lane were built in 1974 and have already long exceeded their intended 30-year life span. West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has invested heavily in their upkeep over recent years, but the time will soon come when they are no longer fit for purpose.

This is a fantastic opportunity and a unique chance to develop a health and care facility that is fit for purpose now and future years to come. Delivering innovative, joined up health care to the population of West Suffolk.
