Health Secretary Stephen Barclay has visited Airedale Hospital this week to meet with leaders at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, staff at the hospital and Keighley’s Member of Parliament Robbie Moore.
The visit comes after the Secretary of State announced a new Airedale Hospital at the end of last month in what the town’s MP called “one of the most significant investments announced for Keighley in decades”, with the government confirming plans for the landmark new hospital to be completed by no later than 2030 and on the same site as the current hospital.
Mr Barclay was welcomed to Airedale by Foluke Ajayi, Chief Executive of the Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, leaders of the trust and MP Robbie Moore, where the group toured the hospital to survey the hospital’s current structural issues.
Highlights of the visit can be watched above.
