Verbatim
“This is a significant investment in maternity and neonatal services in Gateshead and, importantly, in the women, babies and families who use them. Our maternity teams already provide high-quality, compassionate care, but the environment they work in has developed over many years and does not always support them as well as it should.”
“We have expanded our frailty services, developed a virtual ward and strengthened support for people leaving the hospital so that more people can receive the right care in the right place. The results we are seeing are encouraging.”
