Government announced that new hospital at Wynyard to go ahead and that Hartlepool General is closing.

Personally I think that it's good news, although I'll only believe it when I see it as there's still no guarantee in my mind that it won't get pulled after the election whoever wins. The Conservatives would be looking to save money and the Labour doyles made promises about our hospital before the last election and then changed their mind as soon as the votes were counted.
