Work has started on a new three-storey modular ward and a theatre block at Nottingham City Hospital as it seeks to address its waiting list backlog.
"Significant bed shortages" led to the approval of the new modular ward, which will consist of 20 beds and cost around £7.8m.
The move was approved in October last year after it was stated by officials during a Hospitals Trust board meeting that "we may not have buildings that are fit for the delivery of healthcare or a suitable environment for staff" is action wasn't taken.
