The CDC, which will be based on the Camborne Redruth Community Hospital site, is due to open later in 2025 and expected to serve around 75,000 patients a year.

NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly chief nursing officer, Susan Bracefield said: ‘We are excited to be opening another new community diagnostic centre for Cornwall, which is part of our investment into delivering more services closer to people's homes, which we know local people want. 

‘Last year more than 96,000 tests such as MRI scans, blood tests and ultrasounds were carried out at our CDCs in Bodmin and Penzance, giving patients easier and quicker access to important scans and tests.

‘This new centre at Redruth will mean even more patients can benefit from tests closer to home and a shorter wait for diagnosis and perhaps treatment.'

The CDC will provide a range of diagnostic tests for local people, including x-rays, MRI and CT scans, phlebotomy and respiratory checks, as well as ECGs and endoscopies.
