The government has today announced a £251 million cash boost via the Infection Control & Testing Fund. You can read the letter from the Social Care Minister below.
The campaign continues to secure an upgraded, or new, Scunthorpe Hospital. We have already made good progress in securing a £50 million investment into both a new Accident and Emergency Department and a refurbished Acute Assessment Unit where the old A&E was.
As soon as the new Minister for Steel was appointed, I made sure to get in touch and let him know how important this is to our area. He’ll continue to hear from me a lot!
So I was delighted earlier this week, that he made it a priority to visit British Steel.
