Essential works to replace and reinforce the flooring are to take place
- The work is needed in the Majors unit of HRI Accident and Emergency Department. The scheme will start on Monday, July 13.
- It is estimated the works will take seven to eight weeks to complete.
- A spokesperson for Humber Health Partnership said: “What that means is that while the service is still operating as normal, the Majors team will be temporarily based in ward H36, which is slightly smaller than the area they usually occupy. Please don’t be concerned. If you need us, we are here for you – and you can continue to access the service by coming to the Emergency Department as normal.”
- The spokesperson added: “Signage is also in place to help you get to where you need to be. What we do ask is that, if there are alternative services which could be better placed to meet your needs – such as the Urgent Treatment Centre, your GP or pharmacist – that you do this in the first instance, so that we can prioritise A&E for those in greatest need. Thank you for your support and apologies for any disruption as a result of these essential works.”
- Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest groups in the NHS. With a budget of over £1.6bn and employing more than 19,000 staff, it is made up of two Trusts – Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG). Together they serve 1.5 million people.
- Its five main hospital sites are Castle Hill Hospital; Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital; Goole and District Hospital; Hull Royal Infirmary, and Scunthorpe General Hospital. Well over a million patients are seen every year with just under 300,000 attendances at emergency departments, more than 150,000 hospital admissions and around 1.3 million outpatient appointments.
