Consort Healthcare were appointed preferred bidder in November 2004 for the £250 million Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals Development Project.
The 35-year concession is central to the reconfiguration of health services in the area. It will deliver a new acute inpatient hospital in Wakefield on the existing Pinderfields Hospital site and a new Diagnostic and Treatment Centre in Pontefract.
It is expected that the new Pontefract Hospital will open in 2008/9 and that the new Pinderfields Hospital will open in 2009/10.
For the first time, soft services staff will be remaining as NHS employees and seconded to Haden Building Management, rather than having a traditional TUPE arrangement.
We look forward to working with Consort Healthcare to progress our plans to provide our local communities with two brand new, state of the art hospitals that will offer the highest quality healtcare in the best possible environment.
