Plans are advancing for a new £3.8 million healthcare facility in Rutland, to be known as the Medi-Tech Centre.

The proposed center will encompass consultation rooms, two operating theatres, and facilities for diagnostics and recovery. It will also allocate space for vital healthcare research and development activities.
The scheme is slated to be funded through a substantial £3.77 million Levelling Up Fund grant awarded by the government. Council leader Christine Wise emphasized that the development represents a significant investment in Rutland's future healthcare landscape. The project is intended to foster partnership working, bringing essential services closer to residents while simultaneously generating opportunities for innovation and skilled employment within the region.
