Bicester building date confirmed

The financial close for the redevelopment of Bicester Community Hospital was announced in March and construction will start on 3 June 2013. It is expected to complete in August 2014.

Riana Relihan, Project Director said: “A really great milestone has been achieved, not just for the project, but also for the delivery of health care in Bicester and the surrounding areas. The new facility will enable greater flexibility in service delivery and enable extended service developments.

Dr Stephen Attwood, North East Oxfordshire clinical director at Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “This is a great opportunity to improve facilities to provide care closer to patient’s homes.”
