Speech therapy jobs to be created in Tunstall
Thursday 26th November 2009
Planning permission has been granted for a project that will lead to the creation of speech therapy jobs.
NHS Stoke-on-Trent is to begin work on a multi-million pound health centre in Tunstall, Stoke and Staffordshire paper the Sentinel reports.
Due to be completed next December, the facility will offer local people a range of services in addition to speech therapy, including physiotherapy, podiatry and phlebotomy.
Commenting on the proposals, project manager Sandra Jones said: "This is part of the [primary care trust's] programme for modernising health care premises in Stoke-on-Trent. It will be a two-storey facility to be developed by Dransfield Properties."
Meanwhile, Graham Urwin, chief executive of NHS Stoke-on-Trent - which employs over 1,500 workers and operates with an annual budget of £410 million - added that the new centre is the beginning of a "new era" for healthcare in Tunstall.
It will have major benefits for the people in the surrounding area, he claimed.
