History
Building work by Balfour Beattie began in December 2006 and was completed in early April 2009.
The £100m facility opened to first patient on 8 June 2009 and was built with the expectation that it would treat around 400,000 annually. The facilities included 30 single-bed rooms with en-suite wet room, 30 rooms with four bays. There are eight operating theatres and 12 short-stay surgical beds. There is a MRI scanner and diagnostic services and specialist services such as cardiology, renal dialysis and gynaecology.
The building was given an 'excellent' BREEAM rating. Features were incorporated to reduce the impact of traffic noise form the surrounding area.
