Liverpool Women’s successful in securing £6.5m Capital Financing

We are pleased to confirm that Liverpool Women’s has been successful in securing £6.5m capital financing.
 
The £6.5m support has been provided by the Department for Health and Social Care and will be spread over this year and next in order to address some of the clinical challenges we have on the current Liverpool Women’s site.
 
This capital financing will allow us to bring a CT scanner and blood bank onsite, develop our colposcopy suite and invest in a surgical theatre robot, along with other associated estates works. As well as clear benefits for patients these new and innovative facilities will also help us to recruit and retain the best people.
 
The capital finance bid was submitted earlier this year by the Trust, with a proposal that was supported at a local and regional level, as well as by NHS England/Improvement.
 
Jenny Hannon, Director of Finance, said: “We are delighted to secure this capital support, particularly during these challenging times. It will deliver significant benefits to our patients and staff as well as the wider region by providing much needed diagnostic capacity within the Trust. We look forward to progressing with our plans to make good use of this capital immediately with essential improvements to the hospital site, making our services even more safe and allowing us to provide an even higher quality of care.”
