Royal A&E Gets Temporary New Home
The Accident & Emergency department of the Royal Victoria hospital in west Belfast is moving from today to a new 'temporary' unit close to the hospital's Grosvenor Road entrance to allow for construction of a permanent replacement.
It will operate for the next four years while a new A&E department is built. The new unit will cost more than £3 million.
Dr Laurence Rocke of the Royal said it would have better facilities for patients and staff than the hospital's current casualty department.
