The historic Royal Alexandra Hospital is set for a major transformation, with a £33m investment from the Welsh Government to enhance healthcare services for people in Rhyl and surrounding areas.
The transformation of the hospital forms the first phase of a wider £60m programme, with a second phase to improve the existing hospital buildings to be progressed separately by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
The redevelopment is being constructed by MTX Contractors, with planning led by Tetra Tech and support from a team of specialist consultants, including Curtins, MDA Wirral, Bowland Tree Consultancy, Survey Operations and DSSR.
The new purpose-built facility will include a Minor Injuries Unit, capable of treating more than 20,000 patients a year, designed to reduce pressure on the nearby Ysbyty Glan Clwyd emergency department.
A 14-bed reablement unit will bring together NHS and social care teams to support patients returning home after medical or surgical treatment.
Additional improvements will include expanded radiology services and four new NHS dental suites, increasing capacity and providing more training opportunities for dental nurses.
“Rhyl is a popular holiday destination, which means NHS services work hard to meet the needs of local residents and visitors all year round, “ said Jeremy Miles, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care.
The project is due for completion in 2027.
MTX also recently won a contract to deliver a new diagnostics hub in South Wales, providing advanced laboratory and imaging facilities to support faster and more efficient patient testing.
