Great to see hospital creating a brand new mental health care ward.
"Once complete these new facilities will provide a purpose-built environment where we will be able to provide high-quality care for our patients.
"Under the development, we will also be providing specialised areas for patients in a mental health crisis."
Dr Helen Mansfield, emergency department consultant.
Once completed the new building will include:
23 major patient cubicles
7 triage rooms
6 minors treatment rooms
6 paediatric rooms
Dedicated patient bays
Specialist rooms for mental health
A fracture and orthopaedics unit with additional clinical rooms.
