St Catherine's is managed by Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.[1] Some services run from the site are operated by other local trusts.[2]

History
The original entrance sign for the Birkenhead Institution.

The hospital has its origins in the Birkenhead Union Workhouse and Infirmary which was designed by Thomas Leyland and completed in 1863.[3] The original hospital was replaced by two new pavilions and an administration block in 1913, and was renamed as the Birkenhead Institution.[4]

The facility became Birkenhead Municipal Hospital in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as St Catherine's Hospital in 1948.[5]

In 2013, St Catherine's underwent a £32million redevelopment, with the original St Catherine's Hospital buildings replaced with the new, four storey health centre. As part of the redevelopment, the site was renamed St Catherines Medical Centre.[6]

gollark: Ah yes, that thing.
gollark: The thing a while ago with a something to Lua compiler?
gollark: What's this in response to?
gollark: So my search thing seems to be handling the tens of megabytes of slowly downloading esolangs.org data somewhat well, in that queries which don't have any results in it run fine. On the other hand, I didn't add any pagination and it would be quite hard to given how the search algorithm works, so looking for stuff like "the" is slow. And the search algorithm is terrible at looking up specific phrases.
