Special measures Kettering hospital to expand A&E A hospital in special measures has announced £2.4m of improvements to its "cramped" emergency department.
In February, inspectors said Kettering General "requires improvement", an upgrade on 2017's "inadequate" rating.
The hospital sees 93,000 A&E patients per year - 180 on some busy days - which has doubled in the past 20 years.
An adjoining fractures clinic will be moved and a new area opened by Christmas to treat minor injuries, which make up about 40% of cases. BBC Northampton
