What new build would be required at St Albans to enable increased elective (planned) operations/procedures?
There will need to be enhanced diagnostics facilities, the increase in outpatient activity may necessitate some minimal refurbishment and there is likely to be some investment required in the equipment/infrastructure to ensure the site can be used more intensively for day surgery and non-complex elective cases. The PCT also has plans for the site to be more intensively used as their diagnostic and treatment centre.
