Cleveland Hospital Primary Care Hospital issued the following announcement on Dec. 21.
Friarage Hospital in Northallerton is to benefit from a £1million investment to kick-start the development of a new diagnostic hub and remove disused buildings on the site which were built more than 70 years ago.
The new diagnostic hub will provide state-of-the-art facilities for patients undergoing urology and endoscopy procedures.
The hub will be located on hospital’s former ward 15 and the investment is the first phase of a £5million scheme.
The redundant buildings (the old physiotherapy and education blocks) were built during the Second World War and, as well as reducing maintenance, heating and other costs which can be recycled into frontline patient services, their removal will clear the way for more developments at the hospital in the future.
These include plans to replace the Friarage’s aging theatre block with new modern operating theatres. Plans for the new theatre block are currently being developed and will go through regional and national business case development, assurance and approval processes before they can be given the go-ahead.
