The new build will increase patient treatment areas from nine to 17, reducing waiting times significantly. Other improvements include a larger resuscitation facility, dedicated plaster and X-ray facilities, and a dedicated children s environment offering them better comfort and support. This small community hospital was built in 1926, and both wards and kitchens need upgrading. The new development will mean improved quality of service for patients in the Orkney Islands. Overall, new funding earmarked for the board area is 10.0m.
