Last day to have your say on plans to move walk in centre to Peterborough hospital
Residents have until 5pm today (September 30) to have their say on proposals to relocate Peterborough’s walk-in centre to the city hospital site.
The relocation, which it is hoped will take place before winter, would end emergency health provision in the city centre but would provide a single point of care for patients.
This could help reduce the numbers visiting the hospital’s Emergency Department as patients could be re-directed to a different service in the same building.
The existing City Care Centre in Thorpe Road currently houses the Urgent Treatment Centre and GP Out of Hours services.
The proposed relocation has been on the agenda for a number of years, with city councillors briefed on the idea back in 2016.
Issues which could arise from the move could include accessing the service, particularly for people relying on public transport, and a shortage of parking spaces.
