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.
