History

The laying of the foundation stone for the hospital was commemorated when Kenneth Clarke, Minister of Health unveiled a plaque on the site in 1988.[2] The new facility, which was built by Cementation, was intended to consolidate services previously provided by the Eversfield Hospital in St Leonards, the Buchanan Hospital in Hastings, the St Helens Hospital in Hastings and the Royal East Sussex Hospital in Hastings.[2] The new hospital was fully available to patients by 1992 and it was officially opened by the Princess Royal in February 1993.[2] The Princess Royal also opened the second phase of the hospital in July 1997.[3]

The radiology facilities were comprehensively upgraded in 2015.[4]

gollark: Apparently their initial plan was just to hope for herd immunity or something, based on models they came up with for a flu pandemic, but said plans had handwaved the issue of ventilators, and the models didn't actually match COVID-19, and it took them a while to actually do something about this.
gollark: The UK doesn't seem to be doing hugely well with this whole thing to be honest.
