History

The hospital has its origins in the Dover Union Workhouse Infirmary which was completed in 1836.[1][2] This was replaced by a new infirmary in 1884 and a nurses' home was added in 1902.[1] It became the county hospital in 1943 and it joined the National Health Service as Buckland Hospital in 1948.[1] Funding for a purpose-built modern hospital on an adjacent site was approved in December 2012.[3] The new hospital, which incorporates a minor injury unit, was completed in June 2015.[4]

The site of the old hospital was bought by a developer for £1.5 million in December 2016.[5]

What bandwidth do you estimate can be achieved with interpapal linking? Note that this PROBABLY would violate causality.
