An MP believes there is potential for services at a hospital in his constituency to be expanded in order to offer "so much more" to patients.
Waveney Valley MP Adrian Ramsay visited Hartismere Hospital in Eye last Friday to discuss what the hospital has to offer.
The hospital currently provides services such as podiatry, physiotherapy and rheumatology.
Possible future provisions which Mr Ramsay believes the hospital could offer include an X-ray facility.
“Hartismere Hospital is a vital health facility for the local community which not only saves people having to travel 20 miles or more to their nearest major hospital, it also helps take the pressure off those hospitals and it could do so much more with the right investment," he said.
The visited also included meeting the Hartismere Hospital League of Friends and the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board.
“It was good to meet members of the Integrated Care Board and the League of Friends who do so much to support the hospital," added Mr Ramsay.
"I believe it has the potential to offer so much more if its facilities were upgraded and I’ll be pressing ministers on this.”
