The facility has its origins in the Tippethill Hospital which opened as an infectious diseases hospital in 1901.[2] It was expanded by the addition of two new blocks in 1937.[3] A new hospital, which was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 1999, was built at a cost of £2.3 million and opened in 2001.[4]
The hospital is a 60-bed hospital specialising in short term and respite care: it is split into two wards: Bailie Wing specialising in medical care and respite, and Rosebery Wing which deals with mental health care.[4]
