After a seven months’ programme of specialist works to remove old and unsuitable buildings at Mossley Hill Hospital, Liverpool, the cleared site was formally handed back to Mersey Care on 4 February by demolition experts Connell Brothers Limited.
The completion of the demolition is in anticipation of redeveloping the site for a new mental health hospital and now paves the way for enabling works to commence. Site investigations and remedial works to the previously adjoining historic Mossley House will begin as part of the next phase.
Earlier in the week NHS England and Improvement approved Mersey Care’s Outline Business Case which lays out its multi-million pounds’ bid for capital expenditure for a state-of-the-art hospital on the site. The business case now goes through to The Treasury for the next stage of scrutiny.
A main contactor has been appointed and subject to final approvals would see a modern facility with 80 single en-suite bedrooms being built by 2024. Read more about the project on the Liverpool Sefton Health Partnership website
