Public invited to view latest plans for new Hinchingbrooke Hospital

People in Cambridgeshire are invited to an exhibition showcasing the latest designs and a scale model for the new Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon. The redevelopment is necessary due to ongoing structural issues caused by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac). The new building is planned for the southern corner of the existing site to allow services to continue during construction, with completion expected by the end of 2032.
