Game-changing NHS investment is long overdue
Well, yesterday, all of yours and our efforts paid off as the Government announced that Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust will be one of six to share in £2.7 billion of brand new money to build here two new hospitals: a ‘state-of-the-art’ adults facility and in a first for the city, a dedicated place for children and young people’s health needs.
There will have been no small amount of relief and joy felt for so many people who have for a decade and a half felt so let down by previous failures to deliver on what is for the people of Leeds and wider Yorkshire, nothing less than a matter of life and death.
