    North East Lincolnshire Council’s planning officers have approved Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Health Trust’s application to build a two-storey emergency care extension and new replacement hospital main entrance lobby for the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.

    The proposal will also see a new car parking deck above the existing main car park built, a new bus shelter and extra drop-off points for the hospital.

    The new Acute Assessment Units will be staffed by specialists in a range of conditions and illnesses, allowing patients to be seen and treated more quickly, often without the need to be admitted to a ward.

    The council’s officers said: “The proposal would support and enhance existing health infrastructure at the hospital and this investment and enhancement to health provision for the borough is welcomed.”

    The trust hopes that as a result of extensions there will be a reduced number of people delayed in hospital, therefore reducing the length of stay for patients who are in hospital for more than 21 days and freeing up beds.

    The move will increase the number of parking spaces by two for visitors and patients and 33 for staff once completed.

    The trust was given £4m to upgrade the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital and another £4m for a similar scheme at Scunthorpe General Hospital — which has also been given planning permission.
