MP Damian Green visits William Harvey Hospital

Working closely with the East Kent Hospitals Trust and the NHS team, we were very pleased to receive Damian Green, MP for Ashford to our site today at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.

MP Damian Green's visit coincided with the announcement earlier this week, that the William Harvey Hospital (WHH) in Ashford and sister hospital Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother (QEQM) in Margate will receive additional funding from the Government as part of its plans to reduce overcrowding and improve infection control before the cold weather sets in.

As reported in the media, £3m has been allocated to The William Harvey in Kennington Road which will be put towards future projects to expand the emergency department and increase same day care.

The QEQM in Ramsgate Road will receive £4m which will be spent on re-modelling the existing space to make room for more clinical treatment areas.
