Description
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.
Objectives
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.
