Contractors will make a start on site next week to build a new health facility next to The Parishes shopping Centre in Scunthorpe.
It’s a community diagnostic centre, one of many opening nationally as ‘one-stop shops’ for tests, checks and scans.
The new facility will create capacity for an additional 146,000 appointments a year for patients to get X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and CT scans, and it’s expected to be open next summer.
Patients will be referred to the centre by their GP or consultant, and it will operate in parallel to existing diagnostic departments at Scunthorpe General Hospital for inpatients and those requiring urgent care.
