Calderdale Royal Hospital
The Calderdale Royal Hospital is a hospital situated in the English town of Halifax. It is located in the suburb of Salterhebble and provides general services, emergency services and some specialist services. It is managed by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. 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. The cost of building the hospital, originally budgeted at £34.8 million in 1994, was £103 million by 2001. It started providing services to patients in April  2001 and was officially opened by Princess Anne on 15 March 2004. Facilities management services are provided by ISS. 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 against it.
