At the time of opening, Alan Wright, Chair of Doncaster LIFTCo, said: “We are very proud of the completion of this superb centre and know it will prove to be a massive benefit to the people of the area. In all of our Doncaster projects, completed and still to come, it’s a real pleasure to be working with such ambitious people as the Primary Care Trust, the Council, and our professional partners.
