Southport MP grateful that hospital will retain acute stroke services

I am grateful to Southport Hospital for clarifying to me that our hospital will retain an acute stroke service, working in tandem with a new £4 million Comprehensive Stroke Service for hyper-acute care which is also being developed. 

This new model has been tried and tested in Cheshire and Merseyside, and has led to improved outcomes for patients. I’m extremely proud of our town’s hospital, and all those who work there. I want to ensure that Southport residents get the best care possible, and am confident that these improvements to stroke services will enable them to do so, while still being looked after in Southport Hospital. 

I will always be a strong champion for high-quality local healthcare for our town’s residents, and so alongside working with the Hospital to future-proof existing services, I am continuing to call for the return of our town’s Children’s A&E.
