A new hospital for Stockport is the only proper solution to the ageing buildings at Stepping Hill Hospital. After the outpatients B department at Stepping Hill Hospital closed in November 2023, a new long-term solution is needed. There should be a new central hospital site at One Stockport (Merseyway) providing outpatients services, and expanding to provide critical departments at an accessible, central location.
MPs Tom Morrison and Lisa Smart have written to Health Secretary Wes Streeting to ensure that a promise for urgent funding for Stepping Hill is not derailed by the Government’s funding black hole.
