Construction group building widely criticised new Velindre Hospital in Cardiff faces legal action in England

A construction group commissioned to deliver a controversial new cancer centre for south Wales is facing litigation in England over an earlier NHS project.

They argue that the new Velindre should be co-located with a general hospital, in line with expert opinion that cancer centres should have immediate access to wider health facilities in case they are needed by patients quickly.
