On Friday 19th October, I met with General Manager John Auld and his colleagues at the Pathology Department in Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
I was joined by my neighbouring MP Harriett Baldwin and we were both hugely impressed with the cutting-edge work that the Department does. It treats 70% of pathology patients across Worcestershire and is a vital component in the local health infrastructure. It is encouraging to see an example of best practice in the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and I hope that, with new funding awards expected in the wider Trust, we will soon see other departments in hospitals around the county meeting the same exceptional standards.
