Fantastic news for residents of North East Derbyshire as the brand new Accident and Emergency at the Royal opened its doors - a huge boost for our local area and another demonstration of how North East Derbyshire is being levelled up.
There is also a second huge investment in our health infrastructure locally - again on The Royal Hospital site - but this time the replacement and improvement of the Hartington Unit. As we all know the Hartington Unit looks after some of the most vulnerable people in our community and has done this fantastically over several of decades. This new building is a full scale replacement of the current unit and will offer significant additional facilities for those who require support. The work has already begun and should be completed at the end of 2024.
