100th Hospital Scheme Opens Doors To Patients, UK

The 100th hospital scheme to be built under the biggest hospital building programme in the history of the NHS - St Helens Hospital in Merseyside - has admitted its first patients.

The NHS Plan in 2000 announced that 100 new hospital schemes would be built by the end of 2010 under the building programme to replace aging and unsuitable infrastructure, through a mixture of Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) and public capital funded schemes.

To date 131 hospitals have been built or are under construction as part of the scheme at a cost of £12 billon. The programme is not just about replacing old buildings but is also helping to improve the patient experience, modernise services and improve access and choice.

Secretary of State for Health Alan Johnson said:

"The opening of St Helens Hospital - the 100th under our ten year hospital building scheme - is fantastic news for patients who will now benefit from state of the art facilities and surroundings as well as first class care.

"When you are poorly in hospital the environment you are treated in can play an important role in your recovery, as well as the quality of care you receive.

"We launched the building programme to replace and modernise the aging NHS estate, half of which dated from before 1948 and was not fit for purpose in a modern NHS. That figure is now down to 20% and by the end of 2010 we will have exceeded our original target by a minimum of 25 more schemes."

St Helens Hospital, part of the St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, is one of the top performing Acute Trusts in the country and scored a double excellent rating in the Healthcare Commission's Annual Healthcheck published last week.

The new hospital provides a full range of out-patient clinics, an enhanced and expanded day case surgery suite, with the most up to date operating theatres and a state-of-the-art diagnostic suite, (MRI/CT, Dexa scanner, Ultrasound and x-ray equipment).

The Trust has been one of the early implementers of the 18 Week Target and has low infection rates, following strict infection control policies to ensure patients are treated in a clean, safe environment. The Trust was also rated 'Better Performing' in a 2008 maternity survey and is one of the top five healthcare facilities in the country for treating patients with breast cancer.

The great majority of these schemes are completely new builds and a small percentage are modernisations of existing buildings.

Ann Marr, Chief Executive of St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said:

"I am amazed by what we have achieved at St Helens. When you see the facilities inside the new hospital, we have created the best in the world.

"The whole hospital has been designed with clinicians and with infection control in mind. We have curved skirtings, walls and pillars so no germs can hide in joins or cracks.

"We have invested in the most up to date equipment in the world, to put our patients at the centre of everything. They will get the best treatment in the best facility."

Notes

-- Overall annual capital expenditure (ie PFI and public capital) on hospital building has increased from around £1.1 billion in 1997/98 to around £5.5 billion in 2007/08, four times more in real terms than in 1997 and an average real terms increase per year of over 10%.

-- The Government has consistently made it clear that the two key objectives of PFI are to provide extra resources in cases where this is value for money for the taxpayer and to incentivise better performance from public and private sector.

-- In addition to the hospital building programme, the Procure 21 initiative for smaller public capital funded schemes has been successfully operating for a number of years, as has NHS LIFT to invest in and regenerate the primary care estate. The Community Hospitals initiative was launched last in 2006 as was the new capital regime for NHS Trusts which allows them to borrow for capital investment subject to demonstration of ability to service debt, mirroring the powers already in place for FTs.

-- St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust is a busy acute Trust which provides a wide range of healthcare services to patients in the boroughs of St Helens, Knowsley, Halton and parts of Liverpool. The Trust is spread across two main sites, Whiston Hospital and St Helens Hospital.

-- The Mersey Regional Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit at Whiston Hospital extends further, offering these unique skills and expertise to the population of approximately four million people across Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales and the Isle of Man.

-- Work is currently well advanced in completely redeveloping both hospitals in a mix of £338m PFI and £75m public capital scheme, the biggest single investment in local healthcare in the community since the NHS was founded.
