Rachel said:
“Following a detailed briefing with our Acute Trust last week, I know the planning application for the operating theatre development at the Alex has been withdrawn – and for good reason.
"We will still be getting a major, multi-million pound investment in new theatres at the Alex, it’s just going to be delivered in a different and quicker way.
"I understand residents were concerned when they saw news about this on social media, and understandably this has led to speculation – a lot of which is wrong.
"Whilst I am not in control of this process, I am pushing the Acute Trust to share the good news of major investment in our hospital as soon as possible.”
