Following the addition of a new Theatre block in the late 80’s early 90’s the Hospital decided to continue the upgrade its services and modernise it’s approach to day and in patient care.
A master plan was devised to meet the needs of the Hospital and its Clients in terms of theatre and high dependency services, day care, diagnostics, management accommodation and parking while retaining the unique character of the picturesque semi-suburban site.
