Integrated Health Projects has been appointed as the main contractor to construct the £100 million National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) on the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border.
The rehabilitation centre will be a 70 bed facility for people recovering from serious injury or illness, and is being built next to the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Rempstone.
Pre-construction work can now begin on the site which is part of the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate, before the main construction work gets underway. Subject to final agreements from the government it could be up and running by 2024.
