An update on the impending closure
The accident and emergency department at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital will remain open at least until completion of the new Royal Preston, a group of councillors has been told.
South Ribble MP Katherine Fletcher has previously revealed that Preston’s new hospital is set to be built somewhere in her constituency – moving it far closer to Chorley Hospital than the Royal’s current site in Fulwood. “We have already committed to maintain[ing] an A&E department at Chorley until the new hospital has been built,” Mr Hawker told the committee.
However, a long-planned consultation into an overhaul of urgent and emergency care facilities in Central Lancashire – based on the premise that Chorley A&E was no longer viable – was scrapped in 2021 after the intervention of the then health secretary, Matt Hancock. He had demanded the inclusion of an option that would have seen the unit remain open.
