The hospital was built at a cost of £32 million and was officially opened by Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay in March 1993.[1] A six-bedded stroke rehabilitation unit opened in 2007.[2] In late 2014 the health board announced a Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanner service would be based at the hospital.[3]
The hospital has 116 beds across a range of specialities, including general medicine, geriatrics, paediatrics, general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics and gynaecology and psychiatry.[4] Within the hospital there is a learning centre and purpose-built facilities for clinical skills training.[5]
