History

The facility has its origins in an infectious diseases hospital which opened in 1904.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] An extension was created by demolishing an adjacent smallpox hospital in the 1970s.[1] The trust decided to limit the number of bed spaces to 14 due to staff shortages in 2018.[3]

gollark: It is, however, a 2.4kg ominous cuboid with fairly loud fans.
