History

The hospital was commissioned in 2013 by the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, at a cost of £30 million. It was designed by the architects Penoyre & Prasad.[1] It was officially opened by Alistair Burt, the Minister for Community and Social Care at the time, and Simon Stevens, the Chief Executive of NHS England on 6 November 2015.[2]

The hospital replaced the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital. This hospital was opened by the Queen in July 1963, replacing the Welwyn Garden City Cottage Hospital in Church Road.[3] All inpatient and emergency services were transferred to the Lister Hospital at Stevenage in October 2014.[4]

The old hospital was demolished and that part of the site was subsequently developed by Bellway in 2017.[5]

Services

[edit | edit source]

The hospital provides GP services, outpatient clinics, diagnostic (radiology, pathology and endoscopy), a breast unit and antenatal and postnatal care, as well as an urgent care centre.[6]
