New £335m hospital delayed due to Carillon collapse
The chief executive of the new Royal Liverpool Hospital has said that the collapse of construction firm Carillon has probably delayed the opening of the hospital.
Originally due to open in March 2017, the £335 million new hospital has seen its opening delayed as a result of asbestos fears and remedial building work necessities. Now, following the recent demise of the company, chief executive Aidan Kehoe said it would be ‘challenging’ to open the 646-bed facility this year, with ‘highly complex’ negotiations holding up progress.
He said: "We all want the best for our patients and the people of Liverpool and that is to move into our world-class new hospital. When it is built, the new Royal will be at the heart of one of Europe's leading health and life sciences hubs and will provide the best possible environment for cutting-edge healthcare and research."
