Residents in Boston and Skegness are invited to share their views on plans for a new mental health hub development in Boston.
Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is asking people for their thoughts and views on proposals to transform Norton Lea on London Road in Boston into a new 19 bed mixed gender inpatient ward.
The Trust is hosting two information events where residents can find out more information about the development, see the plans and meet the project team:
- 16 February – Midday to 2pm at Greyfriars GP Surgery
- 22 February – 10am – Midday at Boston Library
- 24 February - 10am - Midday at Skegness Library
Alan Pattison, programme lead from Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) explains:
“This is part of a national programme to improve mental healthcare services.
“We want to improve privacy and dignity standards for people who use our services, so we’d like to create a 19-bed mixed gender inpatient facility for working age adults, which will serve those living to the east and south of Lincolnshire.
“We’ve co-designed the building with our Experts by Experience, healthcare professionals and construction experts, so we’re confident we will create a therapeutic space for those who receive care from us.
“This project is part of a multi-million pound investment to remove the outdated dormitory style accommodation, which we currently have at Pilgrim Hospital.
“We hope by building at Norton Lea, we will also be able to co-locate other mental health support services, making it a real support hub for the people of Boston.”
If you are unable to attend the events, but would like to share feedback, please send us your thoughts via https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/YK8MZZ9
