History
The first phase of the hospital, which consisted of out-patient facilities, opened on 21 September 1976. The second phase, which involved in-patient facilities, was completed in 1985.[1] Management of the hospital passed to the Halton General Hospital NHS Trust in 1993.[2]
The minor injuries unit was refurbished in 2003,[1] and a new urgent care centre was established in 2015.[3] Plans were proposed in 2018 to demolish the hospital and replace it with a modern treatment centre.[4]
