History
In the early 1930s it was decided to build a new general hospital for Scarborough; the cost of construction of £135,000 was financed in part by the sale of the site of a former hospital at Spring Hill and in part by public subscription. [2] The new hospital was opened by the Duke of Kent on 23 October 1936. [3] After the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, a major new extension followed in 1988. [3]
The hospital came under the management of the Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust in 1994 [3] but on 1 July 2012 the Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust was absorbed by the York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. [4]
A new surgical ward, known as Maple Ward, was built by Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions at a cost of £2.4 million and opened in spring 2011. [5] Another new surgical ward, called Lilac ward, was built by Kier Group at a cost of £5 million and opened in March 2015. [6]
A new two-storey urgent and emergency care centre opened in May 2025. [7] The project cost £47 million and was started in 2022 with an initial completion date in autumn 2024; however this was delayed due to a faulty boiler. [8] [7] The centre includes a new CT scanner and a dedicated isolation room for highly infectious diseases. [9]
