History

The original hospital on the site was established as an infirmary for the local workhouse in March 1876. [1] A new infirmary was built on the site, slightly north of the old one, in 1895. [1] It became known as Primrose Bank Hospital in the 1930s and as Burnley General Hospital on the formation of the National Health Service in 1948. [1]

A hospital extension was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2004 to create extra wards, a renal dialysis unit, an out-patients department and a dedicated rehabilitation suite. [2] It was built by Bovis Lend Lease at a cost of £30 million and it opened in 2006. [2]
