Wirral’s main hospital is set for a £28m upgrade aimed at “transforming” urgent care in the borough.
Wirral University Teaching Hospital Trust (WUTH), the trust which runs Arrowe Park Hospital, has submitted a planning application to Wirral Council to completely redevelop the Accident and Emergency unit and the Urgent Treatment Centre, which is currently based next door on the same site and is run by Wirral Community Health and Care Trust.
It is the biggest investment in the hospital since it opened 40 years ago and will see patients attending either the Emergency Department or the Urgent Treatment Centre enter at a single point and be directed to the correct place for their care. The work will also see a new Children’s Emergency Department created.
