This £5 Million project, for the Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is the first part of a refurbishment programme for the site following the outline planning approval and sale of the main hospital buildings for residential redevelopment and has recently been handed over in April 2017.
The next phase of an extensive external works scheme around the hospital campus is also now completed. This has provided enhanced circulation around the site with the inclusion of new entrances and much needed expanded parking areas.
