I was pleased to meet with senior leaders at Kettering General Hospital to discuss the ways in which they are working to ensure all patients receive the very best care possible. The last few years have undoubtedly been very challenging for our NHS hospitals across the country in the face of COVID-19 and I certainly do not underestimate the tireless work and dedication of the many frontline healthcare professionals within our community, and the relentless pressures they have had to grapple with, for which I am hugely grateful. I understand that the hospital is working hard to make improvements following recent CQC inspections, particularly around the Skylark Ward, and I will be following this closely moving forward, given the gravity of the experiences of a number of local families in very difficult circumstances, and it is welcome that positive progress is being made, with meaningful constructive scrutiny and learning from best practice elsewhere. It was also a very useful chance to hear more about next steps around the delivery of the new hospital buildings, as well as how we can maximise the positive difference of the new Corby Community Diagnostic Centre that I campaigned for, and which is coming soon, in improving the patient journey, bettering access and capacity, and relieving NHS pressures across the board.
