The new state-of-the-art facility, which will be based at Seacroft Hospital, was officially given the green light by Leeds City Council on April 26, marking a significant step forward for the project. It follows a tireless campaign by many, including rugby league hero Rob Burrow, to see a specialist motor neurone disease centre built in the city. He was diagnosed with the debilitating condition back in 2019.

It will be a place for family members to use and will enable staff to observe patients in a more informal setting. Architects firm Corstorphine & Wright has designed the new centre.
