Campaigners calling for a crumbling hospital to be replaced will be heading to Liz Truss’s constituency office next week.

They'll be in Swaffham on Saturday, October 26, to ask the South West Norfolk MP to lobby health secretary Steve Barclay to announce the decision on funding the final phase of the government's new hospital programme.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, whose roof is supported by 3,000 props, was missed off a list of 40 new-builds announced two years ago.

It now hopes to be among eight further schemes expected to be announced next month.

King's Lynn trades council member and independent borough councillor for the ward which includes the QEH, Jo Rust, said campaigners would be taking clocks to query why they are still waiting for an answer.

"Despite being given date after date for an announcement, none has come," she said.

Former prime minister Ms Truss said she would continue pressing for the QEH to be replaced when she visited the hospital on Friday.
