History
The hospital, which was commissioned as a tuberculosis sanitarium, was designed by Norman White.[2] It was built on the site of Merlin Park House, a late Georgian property, and opened in 1953.[3] In October 2018, it was reported that a 200-bed elective-only facility would be built at the hospital.[4]
