Building Better Hospitals for the Future – Report of Findings published

The ‘Building Better Hospitals for the Future’ consultation closed at the end of 2020.

The public consultation asked people about proposals to transform acute and maternity services in Leicester’s hospitals by investing more than £450million.

They reached out to communities across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and heard the views of many people on the proposals put forward

An independent analysis and evaluation has now been completed and received by the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs)  and University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.

The full consultation report findings have been published which can be accessed here: https://betterhospitalsleicester.nhs.uk/

The findings of the consultation are helping them to develop a Decision Making Business Case (DMBC), which is in the process of being completed.

The DMBC is important because it sets out how they have responded to the consultation feedback, any changes they have made as a result, and the final proposals that they intend to take forward.

They currently expect that the Decision Making Business Case will be presented to the CCGs’ Governing Bodies for a decision as part of a meeting held in public on 8 June 2021.

This date remains subject to change whilst work continues on finalising the document.
