Significant repairs and alterations will be carried out to one of the two inpatient wards at St Luke’s Hospital, Market Harborough.
New fire doors and a new roof will be fitted to Ward 3 between 02 September and 01 December 2024.
To complete the work safely, we will be temporarily closing the ward. Staff will be redeployed elsewhere during this period.
Matron Maria Warden said: “We are very grateful to staff for their flexibility in agreeing to work differently while the repairs take place.
“Once the roof work is complete, we will have a more comfortable environment for patients, visitors and staff during wet weather.”
The work is being carried out by NHS Property Services, which owns the building. Sean McMulkin, its senior capital manager, said: “We are investing approximately £575,000 in essential upgrades at St Luke’s Hospital as a part of our commitment to deliver excellent patient care.”
Roof repairs were carried out on the other inpatient ward at St Luke’s in 2021.
