Consultation on Newark Hospital

Hello All

Cllr Sue Saddington of Notts CC has sent us the link below to a survey for the general public about the opening hours of the UTC at Newark Hospital. Cllr Saddington believes that the surveys could have given more provision for wider views, so she advises you to put in anything which concerns you somewhere on the form where there is a space.

At present Newark Hospital is open from 9am until 9:30pm. Outside of these times you must travel to King’s Mill, QMC or Lincoln. The survey asks if you are happy with this situation.

Please take the time to complete the survey so your thoughts are taken into account.
