Description:

Hosted by Building Better Hospitals for the Future (BBHF), the NHS organisation planning a "once in a lifetime" £450m reorganisation of hospital provision for Leicester, Leicestershire, and much of the East Midlands beyond.

Find details to attend of this and other events in support of the proposal at https://www.betterhospitalsleicester.nhs.uk/meetings-and-events/

See also resources and events hosted by Save Our NHS Leicestershire ( http://saveournhsleicestershire.org/ ).

While welcoming much of the scheme, Save Our NHS Leicestershire has serious reservations about the adequacy of some aspects, including closure of Leicester General Hospital for acute treatment, closure of a midwife-led maternity unit, concentration of even more beds in the already congested LRI site, whether the modest increase in beds will meet the needs of expected population growth, sale of NHS land to the private sector, and lack of clarity as to how and where various services will be provided in the community.

About this Event
Come to this online public meeting hosted by Save Our NHS Leicestershire where we will be joined by speakers from the local NHS who are running the public consultation which ends on 21st December. This is your opportunity to hear different points of view on the consultation plan and have concerns addressed.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, residents in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland have been asked to participate in a public consultation with huge implications for the future of public health in the region.

But while everyone agrees that additional funding for our NHS is welcome, there is significant disagreement between campaigners and NHS bosses over the details of the plans.

(If you wish to submit a question, please email in advance: secretary@saveournhsleicestershire.org)
