    A new children’s hospital is being planned for Leeds as part of a £450 million investment project.

    Plans for two state-of-the-art hospital buildings, including a dedicated Children’s Hospital on the Leeds General Infirmary site, have been submitted to Leeds City Council for discussion at a pre-planning application presentation next week.

    The other building, joined to the LGI’s Jubilee Wing, will extend health services for adults.

    Julian Hartley, Chief Executive, Leeds Teaching Hospitals said: “This is a really exciting development for our hospitals that will be a huge step forward in the way we provide healthcare for patients in Leeds and the wider region.

    “By designing hospital buildings from the ground up, we’ll be able to embrace new technologies and innovation to deliver modern, efficient health services that are tailored to our patients’ needs, not just now but in the future.”
