History
editThe hospital has its origins in a cottage hospital in Marshall Cross Road which opened in 1873.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1] A scheme to rebuild the hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2006. The works were carried out by Vinci, as part of a scheme with Whiston Hospital, at a cost of £338 million.[2] It was completed in 2008 and was officially opened by the Duke of York in 2010.[2]
