History
The facility has its origins in the Caernarfon Union Workhouse which opened in 1846.[1] An infirmary was established in the north-east part of the site in 1914.[1] It became the Caernarfon Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and it joined the National Health Service as Eryri Hospital in 1948.[1] Services were transferred from the Caernarfon Eye and Cottage Hospital when it closed in 1981.[2] X-ray services were reduced by two-thirds in 2013.[3]
