Consultation Question 14 regarding the Steeton with Eastburn Local Area Strategy, we request the plan is amended to include a specific policy relating to the hospital. This would secure in principle support for certain key development parameters relating to the redevelopment of the hospital and also its expansion and improvement of facilities over the plan period to 2038.

We also request certain facts and figures about the hospital’s operation in the draft plan are updated.

It is also requested that paragraph 5.14.38 is amended to state that The Trust employs over 3,500 permanent staff and has over 350 volunteers.
