On Friday, James Grundy, MP for Leigh, was invited to the official opening of the new £2 million Jean Heyes Reablement Unit at Leigh Infirmary.
Commenting, James Grundy MP said:
“This new £2 million unit will be a great asset to Leigh and the local area, and I am proud that I and the Government supported this project.
“I am also proud to announce that the Infirmary has been awarded £10 million from the Government for a new Community Diagnostics Centre, which will mean that we will be able to perform CT and MRI scans here in Leigh.
“Additionally, I am hopeful that we will shortly be able to announce that the Infirmary has also been successful in securing a further £7 million towards new operating theatres on the site.”
The Leigh MP met the family of Jean Heyes at the opening event and was given a full tour of the infirmary by senior staff of the Wigan, Wrightington and Leigh Health Trust.
James Grundy MP said:
“The opening of the new reablement unit and the news of up to £17 million of further funding to modernise Leigh Infirmary is fantastic news for our local community.”
