FAQsHaven't quite found what you're looking for Take a look at our frequently asked question section for more help and advice The first patients have been welcomed to the new £15million Skegness Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) The facility on Old Wainfleet Road opened this week bringing a number of NHS diagnostic services to the town for the first time including state-of-the art CT and MRI scanners Community diagnostic centres offer a range of elective (planned) diagnostic services providing easier and quicker access to tests Each centre in Lincolnshire is being designed to consider the specific health needs of the local community Other services available at Skegness CDC include non-obstetric ultrasound and a range of physiological testing such as blood tests for adults and children over the age of five standard ECGs and 24-hour blood pressure testing Blood testing for chemotherapy patients will also be available in the first step to develop a chemotherapy service from the site was one of the first patients to use the new CDC in Skegness He said: “My GP asked me where I wanted to go for my appointment Then I was telephoned and offered the chance to come to Skegness My wife Rosalyn and I didn’t realise this facility was here and thought it might be a mobile scanner I’ve been looked after so well by the health service.” Approximately £42million has been invested in community diagnostic centres in Lincolnshire during 2024, which also includes a £5million expansion at Grantham in March 2024 and a £23million new modular-built facility in Lincoln The Lincoln CDC is on track to open to patients next month Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals Group Chief Executive said: “We believe this to be the most significant NHS investment in Skegness in recent years and we are very proud to be delivering new diagnostic services that we know will make a huge difference to the local community “The CDC will offer more choice and convenience to help reduce travel for patients while increasing the number of appointments to help bring down waiting times for diagnostic tests “We have already seen great success in the Lincolnshire CDC programme as a whole with more than 118,000 tests delivered to patients since it began in November 2021 and the creation of approximately 140 clinical and non-clinical job roles This has been made possible thanks to developments like this with better partnership working across NHS services including with local primary care providers.” Skegness CDC has been built on land owned by Skegness-based leisure operator Teen Spirit Limited Managing Director Scott Sinclair said: “Teen Spirit Limited is delighted to be working in collaboration with the NHS to bring a much-needed facility to local residents of Skegness and those in surrounding areas The opening of Skegness Community Diagnostic Centre will be a quantum leap forward in meeting the health needs of local residents speeding up access and alleviating the burden of travel to access essential diagnostic services my four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer in December and during treatment in Nottingham we met a family from Skegness who travelled long distances for care I am sure having more local opportunities to receive diagnostic testing will make such a difference to others in a similar position.” The dual contract for construction of both Skegness and Lincoln CDCs has been delivered by Modern Methods of Construction specialist MTX Contracts Ltd MTX Managing Director David Hartley said: “We are privileged to partner the Trust to deliver new community diagnostic facilities that will have such a huge impact on waiting lists and deliver a significant improvement in patient care “This contract is one of several won by MTX to build CDCs across the UK Employing MMC enables MTX to deliver fully compliant high quality facilities for NHS Trusts faster compared with conventional building techniques.” The ribbon-cutting ceremony to

partner to finish the job East Midlands Railway has confirmed that Taziker Ltd has stopped work on the station redevelopment The company is now seeking a new delivery partner to ensure construction is completed as soon as possible the £3.3 million project aims to completely reconfigure the station layout and improve passenger flow The final phase of work was due to be completed by 25 May which involves repurposing the unused Red Star Building at the front of the station into new customer areas and retail units was briefly held up after structural issues were uncovered during the building’s strip-out It is unclear how the latest development will affect the overall timescale An East Midlands Railway spokesperson said: “We remain fully committed to the redevelopment of Skegness station and are very excited about the customer and wider community benefits this project will deliver we are working swiftly to appoint a new delivery partner to ensure construction is completed as soon as possible.” The issue was first raised on Facebook on Thursday (April 3) by Paul Collins an independent candidate for Skegness South in the upcoming Lincolnshire County Council elections He wrote: “I have just been told that the contractors have walked off the Connected Coast railway station development.” Reform UK candidate for Ingoldmells Rural Danny Brookes responded to the post claiming: “Apparently the contractors who are doing the first phase of the rail station are not going on to do the second phase They had under-quoted so East Midlands Railway are getting a new contractor in.”
