Good morning. Work on a new extension to West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance is making good progress. The external walls and roof are now complete.
At the moment, the outpatient department is in the oldest part of the hospital, and it is not in a good state. The corridors are very narrow and there are leaks in the roof.
However, hospital manager, Paul Sylvester, said that the project would provide advanced technical services for outpatients in a modern, accessible building.
He reported that the project would cost 拢9 million, but that the new department would be ready to receive patients by May next year.
Councillor Jim McKenna added that the new department would ensure that more local people are treated locally.

Members of Cornwall Council鈥檚 Strategic Planning Committee are arguing that food security should be an important factor when the council is evaluating planning applications for solar panels on farmland.
According to current planning policy, planning applications cannot be refused in order to protect agricultural land, and the council wants to change these rules.
This is a tricky problem, because the council also wants Cornwall to become carbon neutral by 2030, and solar energy will play an important part in this goal.
The council does not have much information about the commercial value of farmland in Cornwall. So, it will begin collecting this data next year.
If the council does decide to change its planning policy, the new rules will need to be added to the Cornwall Local Plan.

The Arts Council has placed an export bar on a sculpture created in Cornwall by Dame Barbara Hepworth in the 1940s.
The sculpture is part of a series of works created by Dame Barbara during the Second World War after she came to live in St Ives. And in March last year, it was auctioned by Christie鈥檚 for a little over 拢3.5 million.
However, the Arts Council hopes that a gallery or some other organisation in the UK may be able to purchase the sculpture from its new owners.
Arts Minister, Sir Chris Bryant, described the sculpture, which is made of painted wood and wires, as 鈥渁 beautiful work that should be saved for the nation鈥.
And that鈥檚 all from me for this week. Until next time!
