Mark Logan MP, for Bolton North East, has announced that Bolton NHS Foundation Trust will receive £2,758,000 to target 5 maintenance projects as part of the Government’s plan to Build Back Better.
The Government has announced £600 million to upgrade and refurbish the NHS. The funding has been released to 178 NHS trusts to cover almost 1,800 maintenance projects.
Commenting, Mark Logan MP, said:
“Following the successful roll-out of the vaccine this week, this is more positive news for our community.
The 5 crucial maintenance projects will deliver immediate benefits to our health services here in Bolton, ensuring we continue to have the best services possible.”
Today’s announcement is on top of an additional £450 million investment from government to improve hospitals A&Es this winter. This is being done by expanding waiting areas and increasing the number of treatment cubicles, helping to boost A&E capacity by providing additional space, reducing overcrowding and improving infection control measures.
The government is committed to supporting the NHS to build back better, having confirmed a series of major investments in NHS infrastructure since August last year, including £850 million to upgrade 20 hospitals and £3.7 billion to help deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030.
