NHS in Hertfordshire gets Boost as Treasury Approves Start of New Emergency Department at Lister Hospital, Stevenage

The redevelopment of the Lister Hospital, Stevenage, one of Hertfordshire's two acute hospitals, has been underway for several years. The final Phase Four redevelopment costing £75 million was given the go-ahead in March of this year, and within that phase the Treasury has now approved the start of construction of a new £19.3 million Emergency Department.
This new facility is to have specialist emergency care services for children as well as for adults, improved radiology services and a new orthopaedic and fracture clinic.
