A new endoscopy suite with CT and MRI scanning capabilities is set to be installed at the West Swindon Health Centre in Wiltshire. The facility will be housed in mobile trailers and will expand existing NHS patient services.
A new site for diagnostic tools and equipment will be installed at a Wiltshire health clinic. Plans for a new endoscopy suite that will be used to carry out CT and MRI scans, at the West Swindon Health Centre in Whitehill Way, have been approved. The machinery used for the scans will be housed in mobile trailers at the centre, Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said.
'The proposed Endoscopy Community Diagnostics Facility building, and creation of concrete pads for siting of mobile trailers for conducting MRI and CT scans, would expand on, and compliment, the existing NHS patient facilities housed within the existing West Swindon Health Centre building at the site,' the trust told . To power the machinery a new electricity substation is proposed on the site and a new gas bottle store at the ear of the health centre. In approving the scheme, Euclid Street's planners said: 'Great weight is assigned to the public health benefits of this development, and any design impact is outweighed by the public health benefits.
