Government has given the green light for the delivery of the next stages of a women’s and children’s hospital on the Treliske site at Truro.

The news has been welcomed by St Ives MP Andrew George, who congratulated hospital staff, managers, and campaigners.
“We remain confident the government will give the go-ahead,” he said. “Though this news isn’t an absolute foregone conclusion, I’m assured the government wouldn’t commit to expend so substantially at this stage if they were on the verge of turning it down…
“It was shocking to discover that the promised hospital had not been budgeted for by the previous Conservative government. So, I’m delighted the new government has got behind this and committed to backing essential enabling work to go ahead.
“I just hope government ministers will give us the final green light as soon as possible, enabling project managers to ensure it’s delivered as quickly as possible.”
