MP pushes for Spalding hospital role upgrade

Spalding’s Johnson Hospital should be upgraded to a ‘super urgent treatment centre’, says a letter from MP Sir John Hayes.

Following news that the hospital may become a GP hub instead of a minor injuries unit, Sir John sought reassurance that this would not happen from the chief operating officer of South Lincs CCG Andrew Rix, who told him the Johnson would not have a reduced service.

“We would strongly urge that, from the secure foundation of the Minor Injuries Unit, Johnson Community Hospital becomes a ‘super urgent treatment centre’ in the near future,” says the letter which is also signed by five South Holland councillors including leader Lord Porter.
