*Update on the Knoll Hospital Site (30 May 2025)*
We are pleased to advise that the remedial works required to some of the buildings on the Knoll Hospital site, due to the presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), are underway.
We will continue to provide regular updates on progress as the works continue, and expected completion date will be advised in due course.
I would like to thank staff and patients for your continued support, cooperation and understanding.
