After years of frustrating delays, the new Royal Liverpool Hospital site is finally close to welcoming patients and staff.
The new hospital was initially due to open in 2017 but major issues - including the collapse of constructors Carillion - have led to five years of delays. But last week, the Liverpool University Hospitals Trust announced the move from the old site to the new one will begin at the end of September and should be completed less than a month after that.
The ECHO was granted access to the impressive new facility and you can see the pictures from that tour here. But with the new Royal soon to open, questions remain about what will happen to the old one.
