CONSULTATION on plans to create a new Health Hub at Runcorn Shopping City has now been launched. Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says offering these services in a retail environment would make it easier for patient access. Halton residents would no longer have to travel out of borough to receive care, providing greater convenience, and the hub would provide an additional 3,000 outpatients appointments per year, at least, in Halton. The trust also says some services would be expanded to offer a greater range of tests. Audiology and ophthalmology would move just 300 meters from Halton Hospital’s outpatients to Shopping City, while dietetics would move from St Paul’s Health Centre – a distance of 3.5km served by public transport.

Some women wailed loudly while a number clasped their hands across their chests as they shook their heads in disbelief.

The spot on the Hima-Rugendabara road in western Uganda where multiple-vehicle collision claimed 10 lives on Tuesday night was a black spot known to government authorities, but lacked warning signs for motorists.
In addition, the highway section is under reconstruction and was piled with mounds of gravel which rendered only one side of the road motorable, police and Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) confirmed yesterday.
