History

The hospital, which was built in the mid-1970s, was officially opened by Princess Alexandra in 1977. [1] It was expanded in 1989 under a scheme which allowed the old Victorian St Mary's Hospital to close and be demolished in 1990. [2] In 2015 the hospital confirmed that it had sent off a sample, taken from a patient with a history of travel in West Africa, for precautionary ebola testing at Public Health England. [3]
