Explanation
Due to the current provider being unavailable to continue the existing provision of services to the Health Board and following review of suitable options, the Health Board entered into discussions with St Josephs for a protected elective surgical unit facility to support the delivery of planned surgical procedures and inpatient stays for non COVID patients. St Josephs has the necessary capacity and can provide all requirements within one facility.
