Facility Re-Build Update

Internal stripping and demolition works are progressing and are expected to be completed over the next 4 – 6 weeks.
Refurbishment and remediation works will then commence to bring the site back to operational capacity, which could take up to 18 months.
Re-opening of the facility will occur in stages.
The Acute Services, Kitchen and Stores wings will be the first departments opened, to enable services to the community to be reinstated on our site as our highest priority.
