History

The hospital, which replaced the Royal Halifax Infirmary, was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 1998. The new hospital was built by Bovis Construction.[1] The cost of building the hospital, originally budgeted at £34.8 million in 1994, was £103 million by 2001.[2] It started providing services to patients in April 2001 and was officially opened by Princess Anne on 15 March 2004.[3] Facilities management services are provided by ISS.[4]

Proposals to close the Accident and Emergency Department in February 2016 provoked a demonstration of 5,000 people in Huddersfield and a petition signed by 60,000 people.[5]
