A new hospital for Stockport
– Lisa Smart calls for a new central hospital in Stockport in addition to Stepping Hill – New location proposed near former Debenhams site and new transport interchange

After the outpatients B department at Stepping Hill Hospital closed in November 2023, a new long-term solution is needed. There should be a new central hospital site at One Stockport (Merseyway) providing outpatients services, and expanding to provide critical departments at an accessible, central location.
