Increased presence of norovirus

We are currently seeing an increase in norovirus (winter vomiting bug) at West Suffolk Hospital. To keep everyone safe, please delay your visit if you have flu-like symptoms, Covid-19 or influenza, or if you have had diarrhoea or vomiting in the last 48 hours.

Hardwick Manor site planning permission update

The Trust applied for outline planning permission for a new hospital on the Hardwick Manor estate earlier this year. On 30 November the West Suffolk Council Planning Committee decided to defer the decision regarding this application.

The team are evaluating the feedback received and will return to the Committee on the issues they have raised.

We want to thank our staff, patients and local community for their support so far and we will provide an update when available.
