Alongside this, the current hospital is ageing and increasingly difficult to repair and maintain.<\/p>\n<p>As well as creating new hospital buildings fit for modern healthcare, we are transforming the way care is delivered, supported by stronger connections between hospital, community and neighbourhood services. This will help more people receive care closer to home, or in their own homes where appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>The new hospital will also bring wider benefits to the community through jobs, apprenticeships, training and new skills opportunities linked to the construction programme, supporting efforts to reduce health inequalities and improve opportunities for local people. Together, these changes will help transform health and life outcomes across North Manchester while creating an exceptional place to work, learn and innovate.\n                          <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div> <div class=\"c-accordion__item scrollup\" id=\"expand_will_the_old_hospital_remain_open_during_the_redevelopment_works\">\n                         <a href=\"#expand_will_the_old_hospital_remain_open_during_the_redevelopment_works\" class=\"c-accordion__title\">\n                            <div class=\"c-accordion__arrow\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mft.nhs.uk\/app\/themes\/mft\/dist\/images\/accordion-triangle.svg\" class=\"svg\" alt=\"Arrow\">\n                            <\/div>\n                            <h3 class=\"c-accordion__title-heading\">Will the old hospital remain open during the redevelopment works?<\/h3>\n                         <\/a>\n\n                          <div class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n                            Construction plans will seek to minimise disruption and allow the current hospital and all services to continue to run safely.\u00a0 There will be a carefully planned transfer of clinical services into the new facilities.\n                          <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div> <div class=\"c-accordion__item scrollup\" id=\"expand_how_are_you_involving_patients_staff_and_the_community_in_the_design_of_the_hospital\">\n                         <a href=\"#expand_how_are_you_involving_patients_staff_and_the_community_in_the_design_of_the_hospital\" class=\"c-accordion__title\">\n                            <div class=\"c-accordion__arrow\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mft.nhs.uk\/app\/themes\/mft\/dist\/images\/accordion-triangle.svg\" class=\"svg\" alt=\"Arrow\">\n                            <\/div>\n                            <h3 class=\"c-accordion__title-heading\">How are you involving patients, staff and the community in the design of the hospital?<\/h3>\n                         <\/a>\n\n                          <div class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n                            The new hospital is for our patients, our people and our community and we want to ensure everyone has the opportunity to get involved.
