History

The hospital was commissioned to create extra healthcare capacity in the Antrim area.[1] It was built at a cost of £40 million[2] and was opened by the Prince of Wales in July 1994.[3] In February 2003 it was designated as one of the nine acute hospitals in the acute hospital network of Northern Ireland on which healthcare would be focused under the government health policy 'Developing Better Services'.[4] An extension to the emergency department and an extra 24 bed ward were completed in June 2013.[5][6]

gollark: eigen is "own" or something, and apparently people prefer that over "characteristic vector/value".
gollark: Yes, the term comes from that for mysterious reasons.
gollark: (x is called an "eigenvector", and it might be nicer to think of the eigenvector as a vector which the matrix scales up by that eigenvalue, instead of transforming it in some other way)
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: If you have a matrix M, an eigenvalue λ is a value for which Mx = λx for some vector x.
