Summary sheet
The Project comprises the reconfiguration of acute hospital services, involving the closure of one site and the reprovision of services to two other sites which will be upgraded and modernised.
The objectives are to improve significantly the provision of acute hospital services in the area by amalgamating and integrating services on two (as opposed to the previously, three) sites. This will lead to a concentration of staff expertise and high cost equipment and the elimination of unnecessary duplication.
The EIB will review the environmental impact assessment required under the statutory approval process in the UK.
The project was advertised in the Official Journal in July 2001, and the selection of the preferred partner is on-going.
