THE Royal Oldham Hospital says disruption will be kept to a minimum during the £3.5 million redevelopment of its accident and emergency department.
The department will move to a smaller base on the site while the refurbishment work goes ahead.
Dr Tom Leckie, hospital consultant in emergency medicine, said: “The accident and emergency department will continue in temporary accommodation, where space is more constrained. Patients are encouraged to consider alternatives such as their local pharmacist, GP or walk-in centre.”
The new A&E facilities are expected to be open by summer 2014.
