A new community diagnostic centre in the Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust area is due to open in January 2023. In 2022/23, capital funding has been provided for additional endoscopy equipment and an additional acute computerised tomography scanner at the Trust. This will increase capacity, reduce waiting times and the proportion of patients waiting more than six weeks.
