A major landmark has been reached in the creation of a new mental health centre in south Liverpool.
Work is underway on the creation of four, 20 bed wards on the site of the former Mossley Hill hospital as services are consolidated from locations across the city. Proposals for the new facility were signed off by Liverpool Council’s planning committee last year, with a reduced number of beds - down from 106 originally put forward by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust which owns the land and will operate the new centre.
In an update to patients, the trust has confirmed the development has reached a crucial stage. The first steelwork is now on the site on Park Avenue with cranes installing the key elements.
