History
In 1912, construction on a 149-bed infirmary started on Great Western Road.[1] Patients were transferred to the new building in 1914.[1] The British Red Cross Society took over the west block for nursing war wounded in 1914 and the east block in 1915.[1] The buildings were completed after the war.[1] In 1930 the infirmary was transferred to the corporation and became known as Gloucester City General Hospital.[1] On the introduction of the National Health Service in 1948 it was amalgamated with the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary which had stood in Southgate Street.[1] The hospital was rebuilt in the 1960s and eventually incorporated a new 11-storey tower, the work on which started in 1970 and was completed in 1975.[1]
A major expansion of the hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2001.[2] The works were carried out by Bilfinger at a cost of £35 million and the new facility opened in 2005.[3]
