Plans Announced To Increase Services At Lutterworth Hospital

Plans have been announced to make more health services available at Feilding Palmer Hospital in Lutterworth.

The NHS is proposing closing ten in-patient beds so it can offer more outpatient and diagnostic services, to save patients having to travel elsewhere to access them.

Bosses say it will increase the number of appointments by around 17,000 a year and have today launched a public consultation into the plan.

Sarah Prema is Chief Strategy and Planning Officer for the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board:
