The walk-in treatment centre on Westgate Road closed because of staff shortages last November.
By Francesca Williams & Local Democracy Reporting ServiceAn NHS walk-in centre shut because of staff shortages will stay closed for at least another six months, bosses say.
A "different configuration" of services is being considered that could see a number of "health hubs" introduced. He said he was "really quite worried" about how the city's urgent care centres would be able to cope with the demands of a growing population. These could include a walk-in centre at the Royal Victoria Infirmary , which could open round-the-clock and free up space in A&E by treating minor injuries and ailments.However, the report warns the plans could prove "extremely difficult" and may not be quickly achievable, especially given the RVI would need "extensive redevelopment" of its limited space.
