Health bosses say a new £1.1million CT scanner installed at a local hospital will speed up diagnosis for patients with cancer and other diseases.

The new equipment at Spire Little Aston Hospital will be able to up to 20 people a day to be scanned.

The CT scanner reduced the time required to complete scans and is wider than other machines to make it more comfortable for patients, hospital bosses say.

Edward Ireland, hospital director at Spire Little Aston Hospital, said:

> “We are absolutely committed to making sure our patients can have fast access to diagnosis and treatment. Investing in state-of-the-art facilities, like our new scanner, enables us to do this.  
>  
> “We are proud to be playing an important role in keeping a wide range of services going, including cancer services.  
>  
> “With our new scanner, we can continue to support the local community and help address rising waiting lists in the area.”
