Cross Lane Hospital development contract awarded

08/02/2010

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust have appointed Kier Northern to work with them on the £10.4m modernisation of Cross Lane Hospital in Scarborough.

Cross Lane Hospital has long been the hub for mental health services in the local area, providing adult and older people’s services to the community in Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale.

Kier Northern will build a specialist care assessment and treatment unit for older people to replace the outdated buildings on site. This new, modern and spacious accommodation will allow staff to provide more individualised care for older people with different needs such as Alzheimer’s or depression. The purpose-built unit will provide 20 assessment and treatment beds for older people’s services along with four spaces for ‘partial hospitalisation’. It will also be an office base for corporate and management staff with some training facilities.

The project includes the refurbishment and extension of the Ayckbourn inpatient unit for adults of working age. It will provide a larger, improved environment for service users, families and carers.

David Brown, service director for North East Yorkshire for Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust said: “Developments at Cross Lane Hospital will meet the inpatient needs of local people and enhance the levels of mental health services that we provide, moving them into modern, up-to-date buildings with enhanced therapeutic and modern living space. Many people have worked very hard to reach this point and we are pleased to be working with Kier Northern on this project.”

Kier Northern operations director Tyd Gray added: “We are delighted to have been awarded the contract to undertake the developments at Cross Lane Hospital. We are looking forward to working with the Trust and its partners, who have clearly spent considerable time and effort in planning and preparing the project for the construction phase. Combined with our expertise and experience in the mental health sector this will be a beneficial project for all.”

Work is due to start in mid March when construction of the new care unit will begin and the refurbishment of Ayckbourn unit will follow in summer 2011.

The development is timetabled to be completed in July 2012.
