Halton General Hospital is a health facility in Runcorn, England. It is managed by the Warrington & Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The first phase of the hospital, which consisted of out-patient facilities, opened on 21 September 1976. The second phase, which involved in-patient facilities, was completed in 1985. [1] Management of the hospital passed to the Halton General Hospital NHS Trust in 1993. [2]

The minor injuries unit was refurbished in 2003, [1] and a new urgent care centre was established in 2015. [3] Plans were proposed in 2018 to demolish the hospital and replace it with a modern treatment centre. [4]
