Huddersfield Royal Infirmary reveals new plan for A&E department

Significant investment at the hospital could see a new accident and emergency department up and running by 2023.

However, the development, with £196.5m set aside for both the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Royal Hospital, depends on whether concerns over the condition and reliability of “high risk” buildings at the Huddersfield site can be addressed.

The funding will pay for a new accident and emergency facility as well as the improvement of existing buildings “to address the most critical estate maintenance and safety requirements”.

Plans are also progressing for the development of additional wards, theatres and a new accident and emergency department at Calderdale Royal Hospital.

Construction work is hoped to start by December 2021, with completion expected in 2023.
