A new sculpture symbolising the joining together of Liverpool’s hospitals is to be set up outside the city’s new multi-million pound health centre.
Years after the collapse of its original contractor and lengthy delays, the new Royal Liverpool Hospital welcomed its first patients in October last year. Back in 2013, after two years of preparation, an arts strategy was compiled for the new hospital.
A decade on, a new statue is to be situated outside the hospital to symbolise the partnership working between the city’s sites. According to documents submitted to Liverpool Council’s planning department by Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust (LUHFT) by Avison Young, the permanent art installation would be situated outside the main entrance of the hospital on Prescot Road.
