The results and outcomes will be published soon. Halton Borough Council and Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals are consulting on proposals to create a new Health Hub at nearby Runcorn Shopping City. From this hub, WHH is planning to offer Ophthalmology, Audiology, and Dietetics outpatient appointments. Offering these services in a retail environment aims to make it easier for patients to access these services, some of which will be expanded to offer a greater range of tests and additional appointments. Halton residents will no longer have to travel out of borough to receive care. Audiology and Ophthalmology are moving just 300 meters from Halton Hospital’s outpatients to the Shopping City while Dietetics is moving from St Paul’s Health Centre a distance of 3.5km served by public transport. Current staff will relocate with their services and there will be no change to staffing levels. The vacated space at Halton Hospital will be reallocated to clinically appropriate services – either those that require additional space or those that are relocating from Warrington, in line with the Trust’s plan of expanding and further developing Halton as its dedicated elective site – much of which is already underway as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. No estate will be lost or decommissioned at Halton Hospital and this proposal will support our plans to further develop Halton as a dedicated site for elective procedures and surgery. No services are moving from Warrington Hospital as part of these proposals. This consultation follows a public engagement exercise carried out in March 2021 to which there were more than 300 responses and the feedback from which has been factored into our Runcorn Shopping City health hub plans.
