Following a Government reprieve plans to rebuild the Royal Liverpool University Hospital will go ahead.
On course for completion in 2016, the £454 million development will have all-patient accommodation in en-suite single rooms to improve infection control and offer more privacy, a more welcoming and modern building, which is as secure and as safe as possible along with more natural light and attractive interiors, using art and design features and improved access for public transport.
The Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust has consulted closely with patients, the public and staff in planning the new hospital and what they wanted from a new Royal.
Professor Sir Howard Newby, Vice-Chancellor, said: “The development will enable us to build further on the excellent links we have with the Trust. Our partnership enables patients to be treated by world-leading academics at the cutting edge of research.”
